The light pollution from cities are so high now a days and the clouds/smog from the cities seem to exaggerate the light pollution. Clouds tend to sting on to the light that is directly coming from the cities and towns there by vastly reducing the darkness of the sky. The usual light pollution is visible in a country side near to a town or a city as a form of light domes towards the horizon. Even in some of the dark sites the light domes are prevalent which shows that we are quickly losing our dark skies as the towns and cities expand and the new establishments crop up in every place. Even though these are helpful and increase and improve the travel experience, it would be wise for these establishments to give heed to protect our Dark Skies that can be seen in remote locations as the Maroon Lake in Colorado. 48
