We are forgetting what true darkness feels like
Original: We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
Light pollution from cities is erasing natural darkness, and with it the night sky that humans have lived under for millennia. The Guardian reports that artificial light now spreads across urban areas so thoroughly that most people rarely experience genuine darkness, prompting discussion about stronger regulation of outdoor lighting and its effects on health, wildlife and stargazing.
Why now: A Guardian feature on light pollution and the loss of natural darkness has struck a chord amid growing concern about urban over-illumination.
