sure subject has come up, but not this specific point an increase of 2000. quite funny really, we have many posters claiming to be in the know, this and student accomodation doesnt get mentioned. going to read the Falmer council minutes in future, keep eye out for upcoming signings.
i stand corrected, i had feared i would be. i havent noticed these winter moths, despite years living in Sussex. they must have swept up all the exhausted ones littering the pitch.
can see around 1:30, without cloud the light isnt glowing out, just illuminating the stadium roof and girders.
the prat raising this seems to have overlooked there aren't moths this time of year (have you seen any?)
interesting the Observer/Guardian article says 9k signed, seems the petition ran of steam of locals and has had to resort to national press to drum up more.
how about this, a polarising filter about 100ft off the ground to mask all reflected and diffused light from house, street and stadium sources, while allowing star light through? it would have to be retractable during the day, thats probably the most tricky part.
because white light doesnt reflect and travel upward? this is one small pool of light affecting a 30deg slice of the horizon, with a backdrop of thousands street lights and house lights covering another 160deg, that impacts on a few days of the year when skies are clear enough for any star...
not just emotive, factually suspect. i wonder how many insect there are about in January to be affected, and how many are nocturnal and affected by light pollution in warmer times.
this is ridiculous and shame on all you signing this, there is light pollution from the local streets, the road and the universities. picking on the club contribution is nonsense.
