megangibson+FollowSpace Selfies Are Ruining Our Night SkiesDid you know our obsession with launching satellites is making the night sky brighter—and not in a good way? Megaconstellations like Starlink are flooding space with satellites, causing major light pollution and even photobombing telescope images. Astronomers warn that by 2040, up to 96% of new space telescope pics could be ruined by satellite streaks. Plus, more satellites mean more risk of space junk collisions. Time for some serious space rules, right? #Science #SpaceNews #LightPollution30Share
Austin Sandoval+FollowTo my neighbor with the flashing LED Santa that stays on until 3 AM: Please, have mercy.I love Christmas lights. I really do. But someone on our block has installed a strobe-light display that flashes directly into my bedroom window. It looks like a disco in my master bedroom all night. I haven't slept properly in two days. Is there a polite way to ask a neighbor to maybe turn them off at 10 PM? Or do I just need to buy blackout curtains and suffer in silence until January? #ChristmasLights #NeighborWars #LightPollution #HOA #SleepDeprived #HolidayDecor #SuburbanProblems00Share
Michael Flores+FollowNighttime Bugs Are Disappearing?!Did you know our nighttime insects are vanishing? A new UK study found that while bees and other daytime bugs are doing fine, moths and other night-flyers are dropping fast—especially where there’s lots of artificial light. Why care? These bugs are pollinators and food for birds and bats, so their decline could mess with our food supply and ecosystems. Cities are starting to fight light pollution, but we can help too by dimming our outdoor lights! #Science #NatureNews #LightPollution20Share
