Light Pollution - a demonstration
I had a unique experience this morning, I go for a walk every morning at 5.30 and usually see Jupiter overhead and this week, the waning crescent, but today there was Orion blazing in all his glory rising in the northeast! A few minutes later, my walkman told me that the area to my northeast was experiencing a massive blackout, no street, house or traffic lights, on the return walk, all the stars in the south were struggling to peek through, as usual.
Cheers
Graeme
