Death of the night
Article Abstract:
Night light pollution is becoming an increasingly important environmental problem as well as an impediment to people enjoying the panorama offered by the stars. Certain animals, such as sea turtles in the Mediterranean and migratory birds that fly by night, are disturbed in their reproductive and migratory habits by the excess light being given off by lit towns and cities. The answer is to cap night lights to reduce the glare that is given off into the sky.
