Looking at the stars in the night sky is like taking a trip to the ultimate infinity and beyond. It’s like having your own personal portal to a galaxy far, far away. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good space adventure?
First of all, you get to be your own personal astronaut without having to go through rigorous training and dealing with the whole “zero gravity” thing. All you need is a clear night sky and a telescope (or, if you’re feeling fancy, a pair of binoculars), and you’re ready to blast off.
But unfortunately, stars kept disappearing from the night sky recently, according to a new study. The reason might shock you.
Blame it on the increasing light pollution
Increasing light pollution is to blame for the disappearance of many stars from our night sky, as the new research in question claims. If only we could move to another planet with less pollution and better viewing angles! Unfortunately, humanity is still very far away from such a goal.
The new report belongs to CBC News, and you can find out more below:
An astronomer once said that there are more stars discovered in the Universe than grains of sand on all the beaches of the Earth. So there’s no use in worrying if you see fewer stars than before, as those celestial objects are not going anywhere!
Once you’re out there looking at the stars, you get to see things that are truly out of this world. You can spot constellations like the Big Dipper, Orion’s Belt, and the Little Dipper. You can even see planets like Jupiter and Saturn. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot a shooting star or a meteor shower. It’s like being part of your own personal fireworks show in the sky.
