An Urban Migraine: The Influence of Artificial Light at Night on Aquatic Primary Productivity [PDF]
, 2016 Artificial light at night (ALAN), or unnatural lighting produced by anthropogenic sources, has drastically altered the nighttime environment and is anticipated to increase as urban populations grow and electricity expands into previously unlit areas. The

Lighting constraints on lunar surface operations [PDF]
An investigation into the levels of ambient lighting on the lunar surface indicates that for most nearside locations, illumination will be adequate throughout most of the lunar night to conduct EVAs with only minor artificial illumination.

Analyzing the Sources and Variations of Nighttime Lights in Hong Kong from VIIRS Monthly Data
Remote SensingThe long-term monitoring of nighttime lights is essential for understanding sources of light pollution. Nighttime lights observed in space are affected by atmospheric conditions as they transmit from the Earth surface through clouds and aerosols to the ...

Come to the dark side – citizen science in nighttime ecology
BMC Ecology and EvolutionNocturnal ecology has hitherto led a shadowy existence in ecology, which traditionally focuses on diurnal species and functional relationships in the bright light of day. Yet nighttime hides exciting research insights and urgent conservation issues to be
