The new world atlas of artificial night sky brightness

[tel.lekatsas (Tel)]

Falchi at al have updated their atlas of artificial night sky brightness in a paper published 10 June 2016. You can read their paper at the AAAS site Science Advances
http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/2/6/e1600377.

High res images are not as high res as the ones released in 2006 but hopefully we'll see more useful images in the near future. There is a zoomable map at http://cires.colorado.edu/artificial-sky but again the resolution is limited.

The well known and much used 2006 version is at http://www.lightpollution.it/worldatlas/pages/fig1.htm and in zoomable form https://djlorenz.github.io/astronomy...rlay/dark.html

Good to see an update, but the lack of resolution seems to be a bit of a show stopper here.
