Good news yesterday in the Independent newspaper and also available online.
The UK goverment is going to make light pollution a criminal offence. Good news for everyone who has ever looked up in the night and wondered where all the billions of stars have gone.
I also discovered a goverment sponsered review on light pollution, here, that say’s if some simple measures were put in to operation then within 20 years we could once again see the rest of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Lets hope by 2020 we will all be seeing the stars with 20/20 vision.
