All Of The Lights

When we think of pollution, we often associate it with smoke or gas pollution. With that said, there are still other types of pollution worth checking, such as light pollution. This map, for instance, presents the amount of light pollution in each of America’s states. Through it, we can see that the highly populated areas have too much artificial light that they end up drowning out the night sky.

There is no harm if one thinks that New York City is the most light-polluted city in the US or the world, it’s not. Even the city of lights, Paris, did not make the top 10, which is somehow good, right. Anyway, Science Info revealed that Saint Petersburg, Russia, has the baton for being the brightest city in the world, while Chicago, Illinois, the top city in the US, is in the top 10 brightest urban areas compared to the global average.
