Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

Images of the Earth at night are an exceptional source of human geographical data,
because artificial light highlights human activity in a way that daytime scenes do not. The …

Artificial lights raise night sky luminance, creating the most visible effect of light pollution—
artificial skyglow. Despite the increasing interest among scientists in fields such as ecology …

Despite constituting a widespread and significant environmental change, understanding of
artificial nighttime skyglow is extremely limited. Until now, published monitoring studies have …

Abstract The Sky Quality Meter (SQM) has become the most common device used to track
the evolution of the brightness of the sky from polluted regions to first-class astronomical …

Artificial night lighting and its negative consequences are of interest in the fields of
Astronomy, Human Geography, Ecology and Human Health. The majority of studies to date …

The problem of sky pollution with artificial light currently affects practically all branches that
are related to the broadly understood environment. This is especially true for astronomical …

The skyglow produced by artificial lights at night is one of the most dramatic anthropogenic
modifications of Earth's biosphere. The GLOBE at Night citizen science project allows …

Recent methods to map artificial night-sky brightness and stellar visibility across large
territories or their distribution over the entire sky at any site are based on computation of the …

Under stable atmospheric conditions the brightness of the urban sky varies throughout the
night following the time course of the anthropogenic emissions of light. Different types of …
