In most situations, light helps us see
ï¼?/p>
But nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in
fact a kind of pollution
ï¼?/p>
When it comes to looking at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some of
life’s most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies
(星系)
ï¼?/p>
According to scientific research, about 2, 500 stars can be seen by the human eye without using any
special equipment
(设备)
ï¼?/p>
But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from
today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city
ï¼?/p>
In most big cities, people cannot see the
sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood
ï¼?/p>
Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky
ï¼?/p>
Research shows that lots of nighttime light
can harm wildlife, too
ï¼?/p>
When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in
circles
(圈ï¼?/p>
until they drop from tiredness
ï¼?/p>
Sea turtles
(海龟)
need dark beaches for laying eggs,
but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights
ï¼?/p>
Too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that
ï¼?/p>
They are
still learning more
ï¼?/p>
In order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are working to
reduce light pollution
ï¼?/p>
Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at
night
ï¼?/p>
Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed
ï¼?/p>
They also shine lights down at the
ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels
ï¼?/p>
Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife
will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too
