Palomar Mountain was originally chosen as the site for the Observatory because it was far away from any large cities, so the glare from artificial lights would not drown out the faint signals from faraway stars and galaxies. In the last 50 years, however, the rapid growth of San Diego, Escondido, and other nearby communities have greatly added to this light pollution, and the Observatory is at risk of being unable to continue many key types of research ...

Light Pollution and Astronomy By far the biggest problem facing amateur and professional astronomers is excess light. The reason observatories are built in remote areas is to get away from obtrusive lighting, smog and other bad "seeing" conditions, astronomers are not anti-social. A lot of planning must go into site selection to take advantage of the clear steady air in unpopulated areas. It is useless to build a facility that costs millions of dollars only to have its useful life cut short ...

Skyglow / Light Pollution JPEG, GIF, TIFF. Experimental image modeling light pollution in the continental United States. This is based on the location and population (1990 census) of significant U.S. cities and towns (over 50 population). As the program is made more efficient, I hope to be able to include more smaller towns and perhaps rural population. I may include 2000 census (and Canadian) info once it becomes available in a list of town lat, lon, & population. The image is a plot o ...

Light Pollution: Everyone's Problem Light pollution should be an environmental concern for every citizen. The harmful effects of light pollution include energy waste, roadway glare, light trespass (light spilled beyond its intended target), unnatural effects on flora and fauna, and skyglow. The findings and recommendations of the New Jersey Light Pollution Study Commission have been presented to the Governor but thus far there has been NO action. This is surprising given the public statements ...

Bad street illumination is clearly visible even from space satellites (click for a nightphoto of Europe), and a new age of sky commercials has started. During the second world ...
