In this video, we tackle a growing issue that affects us all—light pollution. The rise in artificial light not only strips away our connection to the stars, but it's also having a significant impact on our health, wildlife, and ecosystems. As our cities continue to glow brighter, the consequences of light pollution are becoming harder to ignore.

We spoke with physicist, John Barentine, to explore into the hidden costs of this problem and practical solutions to help reclaim the beauty of our night skies.
