"The lightbulb has been transformative to our planet. The dark side of this invention is that it has erased the starry expanse of our night sky. We love and connect with our city’s skyline. But we are losing our connection to a pristinely dark sky. The excessive light of our cities is endangering our ecosystems. And by allowing light pollution to wash out our starry nights, we are losing touch with nature. This photograph depicts what is just beyond the artificial lights, every night. Whether we can see it or not. Let’s dim the lights and reconnect with what’s above us."
