NEW INTERACTIVE NIGHT SKY SIMULATOR
Thurs 25th June 2009
The latest addition to the Need-Less campaign is this interactive night sky simulation.
It has been designed to raise awareness of the alarming scale of 'sky-glow'' in the UK.
Skyglow, the artificial brightening of the night sky, primarily caused by misdirected outdoor lighting, now threatens to destroy all natural darkness in the UK.
The simulator may also be used as a tool to determine, with reasonable accuracy, the areas that are least affected by sky-glow and therefore best for astronomical observation.
