The Night Sky Is Getting 10% Brighter Every Year

Light pollution is increasing sharply, with the night sky reportedly brightening by around 10% each year as city lighting grows and regulations on outdoor illumination remain weak. The issue is being framed not only as an environmental concern for stargazing and wildlife, but also as a health problem, since excess artificial light at night is linked to disrupted sleep and other effects on human wellbeing.
Why now: New reporting on rapidly worsening light pollution and its health and environmental impacts is drawing attention.
