What is it? Created by Attilla Danko , it's the astronomer's forecast. At a glance, it shows when it will be cloudy or clear for the next few days. It's a prediction of when Melbourne, FL, will have good weather for astronomical observing. The data comes from a forecast model developed by Allan Rahill of the Canadian Meteorological Centre.

21-03-2021, 10:05 AM Interesting topic. I tried JAs link and it puts me on the border of Bortle 4 and 5 which seems about right. I can see most things on a night of good seeing. If I look over toward the Bortle 5 side , over the town, the view is not so good and toward the Bortle 4 side most bright objects look pretty clear. 21-03-2021, 10:59 AM

A color-coded map of the world showing sources and levels of light pollution (man-made light that lights up the night sky and reduces what astronomers can see). It is a mirror of David Lorenz's Light Pollution Atlas 2020, but superimposed on Open Street Maps. Used by many to find good observing sites. Used with permission.
New Interactive Map Shows How Light Pollution Affects Your Hometown Community The NewsTalkers
Light pollution, the excessive or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light, is affecting human health,. a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Available online for viewing, the atlas shows how and where our globe is lit up at night. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East.

Most light pollution maps will measure how light polluted the skies are by recording "magnitudes per square arcsecond", essentially, how bright is a square arcsecond of sky. These values can be hard to interpret, so most astronomers use a simple scale known as the Bortle Scale. What is the Bortle Scale?

Melbourne Observatory is an observatory located on a hill adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria.The observatory commenced operations in 1863 and was decommissioned from official Government work in 1945. The observatory has since continued as an astronomical observatory and remains open to the public. Melbourne Observatory is also permanently on the Australian National Heritage List.

This interactive map shows the worldwide artificial night sky brightness at zenith (looking straight up) at sea level. The techniques used to calculate this data are important as they quantify night sky pollution levels, allowing us to monitor how the levels vary over time. The method, which involves taking measurements from a satellite.

By measuring the light that reflects back up from the earth into space, we can create light pollution maps. But these maps can't tell us what light pollution looks like from the ground. To solve a problem, we must first be aware of it.
Interactive map reveals light pollution across Earth Daily Mail Online
Researchers will use the data to create a map of light pollution across Australia, which will help us better understand the effects of light pollution on astronomy, people and animals. Research shows that animals that live in our cities have disrupted sleep, increased stress and must change their behaviours to accommodate the loss of darkness.

"Light pollution doesn't just disrupt our view of The Milky Way. It disturbs wildlife, disrupts people's sleep, and represents wasted electricity," says Marnie. "The information will help councils plan for darker skies and create opportunities for tourism," says Marnie. "Dark sky parks and tours are already popping up around the country."
