   Jun 15, 2023 · We review the methods behind quantifying light pollution and ALAN, focusing on the diverse functions. We consider current challenges in determining light pollution influences at arbitrary places and predicting how it will change over time. We also provide recommendations on how the measurements can be used more comprehensively in the future.

   Light pollution is most probably an important but underestimated driver behind the erosion of provisioning, e.g., loss of light-sensitive species and genotypes; regulating, e.g., decline of nocturnal pollinators such as moths and bats; and cultural ecosystem services, e.g., loss of aesthetic values such as the visibility of the Milky Way (Rich a...

   What causes light pollution?

   • Sources of light at night Light pollution is a by-product of industrial civilization, which alters the natural patterns of light and dark in ecosystems and includes direct glare, and chronically increased illumination; all of which can disrupt terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems to varying degrees (Longcore and Rich 2004).

   How does light pollution research work?

   • Light pollution research uses a large variety of measurement techniques and devices. The right method, instrument, and analytical approach must be chosen for each application in analyzing ALAN and its effects. Some light pollution parameters can be measured directly from the night sky itself.

   How did light pollution affect the Milky Way?

   • At best there was only a hint of the diffuse Milky Way to see: the combined radiance of 100 billion stars was dimmed to near nothingness by bright streetlamps and storefronts. This effect is light pollution—human-generated illumination cast up into the heavens—causing the sky itself to glow and washing out the stars.
