What please is ISTIL as that link in the credit is dead in the 2 browsers that I've tried?

The "visual appearance" link in the explanation brought up information due September 2016! Wow, a peek into the future! :wink:

What does ISTIL stand for?
ISTIL stands for Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologia dell'Inquinamento Luminoso (Italian: Light Pollution Science and Technology Institute)

Try simplifying the link to just http://www.istil.it/

Well, I see that North Korea still has pretty good night skies. Maybe that's been their plan all along?

'Tis really sad that we've mostly lost the nightly experience of seeing a sky covered in suns and constellations and galaxies and ancient light from astronomical events.
