Original: We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
The Guardian reports that artificial light from cities is erasing natural darkness, with light pollution now obscuring the night sky for a growing share of the world's population. The piece examines how regulation of outdoor lighting could restore darker skies, and readers are debating the health, ecological and cultural costs of a world that never truly gets dark.
Why now: Growing concern about light pollution and its effects on health, wildlife and the night sky has made the loss of natural darkness a topical environmental issue.
