Will Vancouver BC Soon Lose Its Night Sky Visibility?

Vancouver residents are increasingly losing their view of the starry night sky due to escalating light pollution, with urban centers obscuring up to 95% of visible stars. Studies indicate that light pollution doubles globally every eight years, significantly diminishing celestial visibility each year. Experts note that the shift from traditional yellow streetlights to energy-efficient blue LED lights exacerbates the issue, affecting not only stargazing but also disrupting human circadian rhythms and wildlife. Advocacy groups like DarkSky International are pushing for smarter lighting practices to mitigate these effects, emphasizing the importance of protecting the night sky for both health and environmental reasons. As urban lighting continues to invade even remote areas, locals may soon find their celestial views limited to only the brightest objects, underscoring the need for awareness and action against light pollution.
