Why Light Pollution Is Getting Worse

Light pollution is defined as the excessive or inappropriate brightening of the night sky and includes:

- Glare (brightness that causes discomfort)
- Skyglow (brightening over uninhabited areas)
- Light trespass (light where it isn’t needed)
- Clutter (confusing groupings of light)

It’s also gotten worse over the years, thanks to controversial digital billboards and other modern tech.

BTW: Space billboards are apparently a potential thing. They’d appear as pixelated images in the sky, potentially earning companies up to ~$5m annually per billboard, per Insider.

But yeah it’s so sad that you can’t see the stars anymore because of so many lights😢.
