Astro Bob: A Journey Through the Night Sky

Light pollution is a growing global issue, increasing at a rate of approximately 10% per year, affecting both urban and rural areas. The article highlights the prevalence of poorly designed outdoor lighting and emphasizes the need for better practices, such as using shielded lights and motion sensors to minimize unnecessary illumination. While some regions, like Northeastern Minnesota, still offer access to relatively dark skies, most Americans need to travel significant distances to escape the pervasive glow of city lights. The author reflects on the importance of darkness for mental well-being and connection to nature, while encouraging readers to be mindful of their lighting habits to preserve the beauty of the night sky for future generations.
