Check the Light Pollution in Your Area!

Two new mobile applications(apps) were released recently that give citizens the ability to measure their own isolation. The Dark Sky Meter for Apple allows you to take a picture of the night sky and receive results about the skyglow in your area. The Loss of the Night app for Android is meant to help astronomers avoid heavy light pollution in their research.

For more information on these apps, search them in the App Store or find them on the CitizenSci blog:
