Loss of the Night - the app

Help our research on skyglow. We have developed an android app that helps you count stars and thus measure sky brightness. All data are sent to the citizen science project GLOBE at Night.

The Bright Side of Night

International Conference The Bright Side of Night– Perceptions, Costs and the Governance of Lighting and Light Pollution 20th–21th of June, 2013 Erkner by Berlin, Germany. Registration ends May 17th 2013.

New publication of Verlust der Nacht in Scientific Reports!

Observations of stellar visibility by citizen scientists accurately measure the brightness of the night sky.
