It's been a few months since Project DeLight's last post since I've been taking a hiatus to work on college applications.
For the new year, Project DeLight will be contributing to Globe at Night 2022 to submit observations of different constellations each month!
Today, Globe at Night is considered to be the largest light pollution data campaign. For the past 14 years, Globe at Night has collected more than 200,000 measurements from 180 countries. 2020 was a peak year with 29,508 total observations!
