For decades, amateur astronomers have railed against light pollution — the single greatest negative impact of humans on the night sky. Initially, the argument was, “We can’t see the stars anymore!” More studies revealed how Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) is detrimental to sleep patterns and causes fatigue and stress in both humans and animals. Could things actually get worse? Indeed, the answer is “yes.”
