PARABNORMAL NEWS — Noticing fewer stars? It could be because of light pollution according to a group of citizen scientists from around the world who have studied the night sky for 11 years as part of the “Globe at Night<\/a>\u201d Citizen Science Project.<\/p>\n

The team from the U.S. and Germany found the sky is becoming seven to ten times brighter every year from 2011 to 2022. With brighter lights come fewer visible stars. Not only is stargazing and astronomy getting more challenging, but light can also affect animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rate at which stars are becoming invisible to people in urban environments is dramatic,\u201d said Dr. Christopher Kyba<\/a> of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences<\/a>, lead author of the study.<\/p>\n

Researchers found a 6.5% increase in Europe; and 10.4% in North America.<\/p>\n

This is said to be the first time skyglow over time has been measured on a global magnitude.<\/p>\n
