Missing The Night

As the human population is increasingly concentrated in huge cities-- and even megacities--  we are losing contact with the wonders of the night sky, wonders that helped fuel and organize our mythology, wonders that helped us navigate the globe of Earth, and wonders that gave us a first inkling of infinity.

The night lights of modern cities washes those wonders out of the sky.  Astronomers have been opposing light pollution for years, with limited success.  Unless things change, we will be poorer as a species.
