LIGHT POLLUTION



                                                                           Effects of Light Pollution





                Light pollution washes out starlight


                in the night sky: Starlight helps teach


                us our location in the universe and


                gives us perspective on the size and


                relative location of our planet.


                Starlight has been used in nighttime


                navigation throughout human history


                -- overland and on water. Starlight


                inspires us in storytelling and the arts


                in countless ways..
