Starlight being eroded, say astronomers
The public's "right to starlight" is steadily being eroded by urban
illumination that
is the bane of astronomers everywhere, says the International
Astronomical Union.The
body, which wrapped up an 11-day general assembly in Rio de Janeiro
that attracted
galaxy-gazers from around the world, argues that authorities should
use more
unobtrusive lighting in cities and towns.Such moves would not only
free up the night
skies to make for easier viewing, but also promote environmental
protection, energy
savings and tourism, it said in a resolution.
