Review of Darkness at Midnight

This is the season of clear, cold nights. Perfect for stargazing.
After listening to this piece on the loss of dark skies at night due to artificial lighting, one statistic stuck with me...Two thirds of the people in the world can no longer see the Milky Way from their backyards.
The piece also explores the connection between bright night skies, greenhouse gasses and the loss of the natural day and night rhythm of life.
