🌌 Light Pollution

Light pollution is the artificial brightening of the night sky caused by human-made light sources such as streetlights, illuminated buildings, billboards, and industrial sites.

It hampers astronomical observations, alters natural night ecosystems, and can disrupt human sleep rhythms.

Good lighting design means using only as much light as needed, at the right time and in the right place. Warm light, shielded fixtures, and timers help preserve the night sky.
