The star count is to raise awareness about how much light pollution is in the night sky. After October 23rd all the data of people who participated in the star count is counted up. It then shows and explains why certain areas can and cannot see certain stars and constellations. It shows that certain economical and geographic areas cant see some constellations because of the size of cities in the area or where they are located on Earth.
This Blog is kind of unusual but very interesting to see why some areas are so effected by light pollution. I think its an excellent idea to raise awareness about light pollution because as the population of the world grows more and more people will live in urban areas. Causing more light pollution and making it harder for people see the stars and constellations. So I hope this helps people to understand the effects of light pollution.
