Landscape astrophotographer Alyn Wallace (https://www.youtube.com/c/AlynWallace) discusses the devastating impact of light pollution, not just on the night sky but on nature as well. As the human population explodes and towns and cities grow, light pollution is growing at an alarming rate and is largely going unchecked. Not only is the luminous fog drowning out the stars and our view to the rest of the universe, but it also causes disruptions in circadian rhythms and the balance of ecosystems.
