You may have seen reports late last month about a new study showing how too much light at night is affecting birds — the latest sign of a problem that has implications for us, too. The study’s ...

Scientists have shown that light pollution—especially light in the blue spectrum—can alter the behavior of fish after only a few nights, and have knock-on effects for their offspring. The team from ...

Birds like this western meadowlark are singing earlier in the morning and later at night thanks to light pollution. Light pollution is causing non-nocturnal species of birds to sing for 50 additional ...

Scientists have shown that light pollution -- especially light in the blue spectrum -- can alter the behavior of fish after only a few nights, and have knock-on effects for their offspring. Scientists ...

Global light pollution has increased by at least 49% over 25 years, new research shows. This figure only includes light visible via satellites, and scientists estimate the true increase may be ...

Light pollution is caused by the bright glow of artificial lights from towns and cities. It can be a problem for photographers taking pictures at night, adding a yellow color cast, haze, and reducing ...

Artificial light should be classed as a pollutant, says the UK's Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), in an appeal to curb its negative effects on human health and nature.
