As a historian (of #night #ArtificialLight #ALAN #lightpollution), this is a fascinating study for so many reasons.
And conveniently it is now in the conclusion of my Memphis talk for next week.

What the Dark Skies Protection Act will actually do: save birds' lives! NYC Bird Alliance has documented how #ArtificialLight disorients night-migrating birds, contributing to a QUARTER MILLION BIRD DEATHS from building collisions each year in New York City.

How and when did astronomers begin to understand access to the #night sky as a human right? And what are the implications of doing so? 🌌
Read chapter 3 of my forthcoming book, #TransformingNight!

One issue is indoor lighting at night, generally called "light exposure," not #LightPollution, in the scholarly communities.
Yet body (also) as env is a central premise of #envhist #envhum #envjustice

Notice skyglow in both photos, but also the "cloud amplification effect" on the right 🤓

My book #TransformingNight argues that excessive focus on #LightPollution #ArtificialLight during clear-sky conditions until recently is a legacy of astronomy's early attn to issue.
IOW, even recent scientific assumptions and practices have been shaped by the past.
