HOW LIGHT POLLUTION AFFECTS DARK NIGHT SKIES

A Quote which says ” In search of Gold, We lost Diamonds”.Yeah, That’s true!!

If you live in the city ..consider of now, Hyderabad; Except Moon and Saturn there are no stars visibile in night sky.

This is because of pollution mainly Light pollution in Night sky.

This image illustrates the Bortle Scale.

Bortle scale is a 9 level numeric type of scale that measures the sky brightness.

It also concludes that how light pollution is affecting your view of night sky phenomenon.

In short ,The lower the number is, the better the sky quality.

It also shows that, from lleft to right, if the number of stars increases, then the dark sky night is excellent to view.
