Darkness is hard to find.
The 24-hour day has arrived.

“Despite climate change, the economic crisis and high electricity prices, thousands upon thousands of new light sources are constantly being added to the mix… practically increasing from one night to the next.”
Light smog: “Unless we create dark sky zones, a truly dark sky will not be found.”
