[Bok]

Have you ever seen the Milky Way ? Maybe, but have you ever seen it while standing in the Great White Way--or any Great White Way: Times Square, Piccadilly Circus, or Akihabara? A citizen science research project known as the GLOBE at Night suggests that much of urban humanity--which now constitutes more than half the 7 billion people on the planet--cannot observe the opalescent band of stars, our galactic home, in the vast void of the universe. Instead, we confront a yellowish haze that constitutes modern night, pricked by the occasional extra-bright star or planet.
