While air pollution in central Europe is well documented and many counteractions have been taken by politics, light pollution is barely considered by the public. This teaching material contains satellite images and an ISS video demonstrating the effects of light pollution. Two neighbouring regions with different approaches to night-time lighting are compared, both in regards to reasons and impacts. Natural conditions and settlement structures are discussed in this context, as well.
