6Foot2 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Link: Light Pollution Atlas [shows where light pollution affects nighttime viewing for astronomical observations] 2
sonofsanta Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 That solitary green patch in the East Midlands, one of the only inland green patches? I'm about five minutes drive from the edge of that patch
bladedanny Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 The easiest for me to get to a green area would be to buy a boat and sail out to sea. I'm surprised some of the peaks aren't darker than they are.
GREED Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Interesting to see light spots all over the world particularly in very remote areas!
sted Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 might also to a degree depend on what time the data is taken as leeds for instance seem to like turning off streetlights between mignight and 5:30am
Arreks Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 As expected, I'm pretty screwed for a person who lives in London and doesn't drive
Joanne Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 wow, how dark is Australia? Also, can't believe there are no dark spots in Europe... so densley populated compared to other places!
