💡 Distant skyglow helps European Nightjars detect prey.
#Nightjars are visually-orienting insectivores, more active when moonlight or #skyglow light up the night sky.
🌌 How do they use these light sources while hunting?

Fun fact: If you want to help out our flying friends (and their pituitary glands) on their journeys, reducing light pollution is an easy way to start.
Light pollution called “skyglow” can disrupt migration, causing many birds to become disoriented over urban and suburban areas.

#BlueEarth Scattered light from orbital debris may add 10% more light to a skyglow that interferes with research.
Astronomers are on edge about mega constellations of satellites. SpaceX alone has more than 1000 Starlink satellites orbiting earth.

More on light pollution and moths from Evert van de Schoot, who found that even dim skyglow reduces moth abundance by 25% in gardens, but streetlights reduce them by 50%. Very worrying in a rapidly urbanising world #FutureofButterflies

Migration is a tough time of year for many birds, as they make their long dangerous journeys. Lauren Pharr, a PhD student at the time of this interview, studies urban noise and light pollution and their affect on birds.

Saw comet Lemmon tonight, but dim enough relative to the suburban skyglow that it wasn't much. Can pull a little more out when I download and process

by night, the skyglow said, we were all of us alone. we could not console ourselves with distant places. this place is all we were; we're as apt to die where we stand sooner or later, even now, as we are to see any other shore.

By reporting which stars you can and can't see near Orion, you can help the citizen science project Globe At Night track light pollution in your area.
Help scientists document Midwest light pollution by looking at Orion
More people participating in the citizen science project Globe At Night could help fill gaps in what astronomers know about the extent of skyglow.

So, it's been a busy evening. Here are the flat colours for this - I'm not totally struck on the skyglow around the red dwarf, but this is as good as I could get it after five goes, so it may have to do "as is".
