    this actually kind of depresses me because i may never be able to get far enough away from civilization to truly see the night sky.

    The population figures are inconsistent. In some cases (like London or Istanbul), the metropolitan population was given, but in most cases only the population of the city proper was given, while the picture showed the whole or most of the metropolitan area. Buenos Aires, Los Angeles and Tokyo, for example, have far more people in the area shown than the figures on the screen. As for your favorite, Brasília, it's a very unusual city and the population given includes far-away "satellite cities" as they are called. The area shown has probably about 1 million people.

      there is something wrong with the curvature of the pictures schown => something aint right !
      how is it at 1:43 that it is curved so much and also at the end it is flattend out and in the begining it is different also => (distorted images) 😲

    on 00:23 France is written on the border of Belgium and Holland.. the only bright light from France is coming from Lille France the rest (brightest) is Belgium cause even the smallest roads are lightened when dark. that's why you can even see the contours of the country and it's a more orange light (streetlights)

    i highly recommend visiting Prague. lots of great museums, culture, concerts, bars, nightlife. And a very beautiful city because it has not been destroyed in a war for centuries, so you can find architecture from all ages and styles, all in good shape and in use. Feels a bit like an outdoor museum.

  • @RufftaMan

    i think it looks beautiful!
    all those people complaining that it looks like a growing cancer should just remove themselves from being part of the problem.
    altho i agree that light-pollution is not favourable i must say it gives you the feeling that somebody is home. this place is inhabited by (more or less) intelligent beings.
    as long as it never looks like the vision at the end and you can still find dark places to gaze at the night sky, i am fine with it.

  • @kurtilein3
    @kurtilein3 12 років тому

    Prague is a city that started doing something about it, for street lights wherever necessary they added a reflector on top so that it only shines down, not sideways or up. And they use nighttame aerial pictures to find the worst culprits, sometimes car dealerships or construction sites or hotels really overdo it. And it works, i know Prague at night, its very beautiful, not so dark that it gets scary and you can still see the famous architecture, but the sky is noticeably darker.

      they are that easy to see if your eye's pupils are more open (more used to darkness) as well as you need longer exposure in the camera to take the photos (camera lens works somewhat similar to eyes in that sense)
      look at the Sun for 1 second and look at Earth at night and you probably wouldn´t see much :)

    Just think how interesting it would be to have public-access web-cams from the space station.

    Excellent video. It would be great to include Population figures in easy-to-remember numbers and including suburbs, because we're actually seeing the whole urban area. For example: Buenos Aires, 12 million ( the figure shown is for the exact district, without its suburbs) They did it for San Francisco. However 7.1 or 7.2 or 7 million would be easier for everyone to remember.

    getting a pellet gun to shoot them down is a thought that crosses my mind maybe once every week. i hope one day people will take light pollution seriously. also, making lighting more efficient and rational to save energy can be combined with it.

I'm too tired to give you a good explanation, but if you think about it, if we dont change our ways we will not reach very far. And yes, an alien intervention is key for us to survive. And i really hope we get into contact with an alien civilization in my lifetime, simply because i am a biologist, and learning about the biology of a new species, AND the eco-system and animals on their homeplanet, is my absolute dream.

And realize that shooting it up into the sky, everywhere like that, is pointless and detrimental to how we see our night sky. Light pollution really sucks when you live in or near a city.
