RE: Operation: Dark Sky (discussion)
Wow. I bet there will be a lot of folks going outside to actually see the stars and enjoy the night sky which has been eliminated by light pollution over the years.

mhh, i missed that sorely when i lived in the city but now its about the only thing here to look at lol, and even here, light pollution is so bad i have to almost crawl to the edge of town to find a spot where i can see at least the big dipper, i always wanted to take my chair to arecibo and fry steak on an low fire while being amazed but ... maybe later
the meme lol is lolmao , got some pamphlets lololol
time to upgrade the doormat ;-)
o dear ... resteemed on the wrong account ... wait a minute while i go slap myself ... o well no harm done but actually i keep this for distrobot and votepool only if i run out of over 90% on the other one... can't un-resteem something hm ? gotta pay more attention tsk
I design and manufacture LED street lights with a blue suppression technology to fight light pollution and also protect nocturnal species that are being decimated at a rate that makes global warming look like the aerosol spray scare. It's not making any news, but we are basically killing 50% of the species on Earth that rely on the night sky. Just like the book, "Hot Zone" the Earth has its own self defense mechanisms and we will trigger one soon with light pollution.
you'll have to excuse me if i stick to the main account the other one isnt intended for interacting , ... teknikal slip there ... nice name btw you got :p ... sounds like someting FN herstal could come up with ( google img )
, which is one of the main sources of 'private' income of the southern government of belgium , good buddies with the american military too, i just wonder what they do with the money cos we dont seem to see much of it (they're the main stakeholders, share in the company so technically my government is an arms dealer
if you were an alien you couldnt miss belgium from space, im sure of that but instead of going towards led (at least to save energy bills ... but who cares right, its not the government paying them) or something even more ecological like reflectors embedded in the asphalt (gives you some kind of space-track look at night because you see the road perfectly well with your headlights on) costs no electricity, wears very slowly, no one can run into it and the maintenance is zero. instead of that they just keep dumping roads everywhere although theres a lot of talk about a thing they call "concrete - stop" but i think thats only because there's no more room here for asphalt or concrete.
Nature has proven several times that we are not in charge, it used to be the plague or something in crowded areas (the wrath of god for the debauchery ofcourse) or wars if things got too crowded and heated but these day they pick their battlegrounds well ... the eagle and the bear go slug it out over the heads of the syrians (in the name of freedom and fighting terrorists ofcourse) testing all their new stuff on a battlefield far from home where no one gets to complain anyway. Doesnt really help to keep the populace in check. So yea, i share your concern there, when nature strikes back with the next level of revenge there's probably not much to be done against it
Well said.
thank you
That is something I have noticed over the years. I live in a big city but just 5 years ago I was able to look up and see the night sky (moon and stars), now I am lucky if I see the moon at night. I have to go out of town to the country to see it. That is something that the masses do not notice. The last time I pointed that out to someone that was not "awake", with a straight face they looked at me and told me it was a special night-time fog that stops us from seeing the stars. SMH. MSM has really done the job of programming the masses.
