Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>New paper shows that moth numbers are reduced in areas with higher levels of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/skyglow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skyglow</span></a> compared to areas with lower levels of skyglow, regardless of whether one is near streetlights or not: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2025.126068" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2025.</span><span class="invisible">126068</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LightPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LightPollution</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moths</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pollinators</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Night" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Night</span></a></p>
Dr. John Barentine FRAS<p>It's worse than previously thought. "INNA would increase light pollution above the Very Large Telescope (VLT) by at least 35% and by more than 50% above the south site of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory." </p><p><a href="https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2506/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">eso.org/public/news/eso2506/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/CerroParanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CerroParanal</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/ESO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ESO</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/LightPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LightPollution</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Skyglow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Skyglow</span></a></p>
Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>Amazingly, in recent years, a few brave experimentalists have started to demonstrate the diffuse <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/skyglow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>skyglow</span></a> really does affect the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a>. Here are a few of them.</p>
Christopher Kyba 🇨🇦🇪🇺<p>We know that when artificial light shines directly from a light source onto living things at night, it affects their behavior and physiology. But what about the diffuse glow of the night sky, does that affect the environment?</p><p>Turns out it does.
