Illuminating the deleterious effects of light at night [PDF]
F1000 Medicine Reports, 2011 Technological advances, while providing many benefits, often create circumstances that differ from the conditions in which we evolved. With the wide-spread adoption of electrical lighting during the 20(th) century, humans became exposed to bright and unnatural light at night for the first time in their evolutionary history.

Journal of Imaging, 2019 Artificial skyglow, the fraction of artificial light at night that is emitted upwards from Earth and subsequently scattered back within the atmosphere, depends on atmospheric conditions but also on the ground albedo.

Remote Sensing, 2021 The global spread of artificial light is eroding the natural night-time environment. The estimation of the pattern and rate of growth of light pollution on multi-decadal scales has nonetheless proven challenging.

Variation of Individual Location Radiance in VIIRS DNB Monthly Composite Images
Remote Sensing, 2018 With the growing size and use of night light time series from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (DNB), it is important to understand the stability of the dataset. All satellites observe differences in pixel values during repeat

Shedding light on night myopia
Journal of Vision, 2012 First described during the 18th century, the cause of night myopia remains a controversial topic. Whereas several explanations have been suggested in the literature, particularly related with accommodation or chromatic shift in scotopic light conditions, no definitive explanation for its aetiology has been provided.

Ecological effects of artificial light at night on wild plants [PDF]
, 2016 PublishedSummary 1.Plants use light as a source of both energy and information. Plant physiological responses to light, and interactions between plants and animals (such as herbivory and pollination), have evolved under a more or less stable regime of ...

Streetlights Disrupt Night-Time Sleep in Urban Black Swans
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Artificial light at night could have widespread and detrimental impacts on sleep. To reduce disruptive effects of artificial light on sleep in humans, most smartphones and computers now have software that reduces blue light emissions at night.
