How Does ‘Light Pollution’ Affect the Night Sky and What Can Be Done About It?

Imagine you're looking up at the night sky, and instead of seeing stars twinkling above you, all you see is a big, bright glow. That’s light pollution, too much light from cities, streets, and buildings covering up the stars. It makes it harder for people to see the night sky clearly. But we can help! If everyone turns off some lights at night or uses softer lights, the stars might come back to shine brightly again.
