WASHINGTON — Every year the night sky gets brighter and the stars dimmer.A new study analyzing data from more than 50,000 amateur stargazers finds that artificial lighting makes the night sky 10% brighter each year.That's a much faster rate of change than scientists had previously estimated by looking at satellite data. The research, which includes data from 2011 to 2022, is published Thursday in the journal Science.“We are losing, year after year, the possibility of seeing the stars,” said Fabio Falchi, a physicist at the University of Santiago de Compostela, who was not involved in the study.“If you can still…

The space between the Earth and the Moon is about to fill up a little more

The moon is hot right now.By some estimates, as many as 100 lunar missions could launch into space over the next decade, a level of interest in the moon that far exceeds the Cold War-era space race that saw the first humans set foot on the lunar surface. With multiple nations and private companies now setting their sights on moon missions, experts say cislunar space, the area between Earth and the moon, could become strategically important, potentially opening up competition for resources and positioning. and even provoking geopolitical conflicts.“We are already seeing this competing rhetoric between the US government and…
