Learning about light pollution

If you've never seen the sky on a truly dark, cloudless night, then you are missing one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see. Here in New Mexico, we try to control light pollution. Our subdivision rules include controlling light at night, which we appreciate, because the night views are truly incredible. We have one "security" light and it has sensors for both motion and light, so it only comes on at night if something passes by and triggers it. It is also solar powered, so it can be placed almost anywhere without the hassle of wiring it in.
