Light Pollution
Light Pollution
 | Have you looked up into the night sky, lately? How many stars can you see? You should be able to see, without using a telescope or binoculars, about twenty-five hundred points of light.

Light pollution is caused by excessive, misdirected outdoor lighting. Light pollution threatens to destroy most casual stargazing.
