About
Feel the darkness
When the light obscures the starsThe reason is light pollution, i.e. the amount of artificial light created by street lamps, car headlights, signs and billboards, houses, factories etc. that shine both day and night. Light pollution is particularly bad in Europe and the United States, where 99% of the population lives in areas with such intense exposure to artificial light that it will filter out the view of the stars. 60% of all Europeans live in areas where light pollution is so pronounced that you cannot make out the Milky Way.
