A call for scientists to halt the spoiling of the night sky with artificial light and satellites

Fabio Falchi, Salvador Bará, Pierantonio Cinzano +2

Unfettered access to dark night skies is rapidly diminishing, due to light pollution and satellite mega-constellations tracks. Scientists should wake up and do more to stand up to…
