Light Pollution at Your Location (compared to mine)

It is so grounding to walk outside and see the stars. One is nice, and a sky full of stars is so much better. When I lie down to look up awhile I like to imagine I'm on the side of the planet looking out.

I hope this comparison tool helps at least one person take action to reduce light pollution. For my part I have no outside lights on at night (this helps insects, too), and will add "light pollution" to the list of things I lobby my reps about.

See how the effects of light pollution on your sky compare to the Murry River International Dark Sky Reserve. This simulation demonstrates from a ground perspective the real difference between light-polluted night skies and natural darkness, based on the data of lightpollutionmap.info
