The “skyglow,” or brightness brought on by artificial lighting, which has gotten worse every year since 2011, is the root of the problem. Over a period of 12 years, this trend was seen by amateur astronomers and citizen scientists who walked outside at night to count stars. German researchers then examined the data and published their findings. The findings suggest that a youngster born in an area where 250 stars could be seen would likely only see less than 100 stars in that same area 18 years later.
