## Description

Light Pollution Map is an interactive online resource for exploring night-sky brightness and light pollution around the world. Its map combines NASA Black Marble VIIRS satellite data with sky-brightness information, including the World Atlas 2015, historical and recent yearly layers, and a sky-brightness view. Users can also display cloud conditions, aurora forecasts, observatories, dark-sky parks, and SQM/SQC measurements contributed by users.

The platform offers tools for examining locations and comparing different data layers. Visitors can measure distances, view point or area information, add map markers, record SQM measurements, and search for nearby dark sites. Additional features include a moon widget, country-level statistics, day-and-night display, and options for changing basemaps, overlays, and map appearance. The available measurement and observatory filters help users explore specific kinds of observations, while map legends and hover details provide context for displayed data. Developed by Jurij Stare, Light Pollution Map brings satellite imagery, sky measurements, and practical mapping tools together for people interested in night skies, astronomy, and finding darker places to observe.
