43°29'S 147°08'E - Meet me at the lighthouse
by Vytas Huth, Landscape Ecology, University of Rostock / Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research, Rostock / Müncheberg, Germany
Light pollution is an environmental hazard we often overlook. When I had the chance to view the Southern Hemisphere's night sky with only the Antarctic Ocean in front of me I realized how much we have already lost in the Northern Hemisphere and Europe. It almost seems like the night goes extinct.
