Abstract |
The United Kingdom is a highly and densely populated country (∼62 million people) with a high level of light pollution. It is not easy to find places in the UK where you can still see the Milky Way — indeed the best that is often on offer is the main defining stars of the major constellations, the brighter planets and the Moon. Even the Moon is hardly noticeable from central London. But there are still dark places in the UK. The best area to find them is in the remote northwest of Scotland — but this region is not noted for its fine weather and neither is it easy to get to. However, there are places closer to centres of population that offer satisfactorily dark skies where the Milky Way and a few nebulosities are visible with the naked eye. Sites of this sort of quality are still to be found in the National Parks with excellent access to major centres of population. |

Abstract |
Artificial night lighting is a unique sign of human activity. Pictures from space show us
beautifully and strikingly how we illuminate our planet. Light emission (and low-light
reflection) data can aid research in numerous fields, from socio-economic studies, via light
pollution, to emergency response. The only instrument currently capable of measuring
nighttime lights from space is the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program – Operational
Linescan System (DMSP-OLS). Although this unique dataset was the first to allow analysis
of our nighttime activities, it has many shortcomings, such as rather coarse spatial resolution
(2.5 km ground sampling distance), only panchromatic visible spectral information and no
visible band calibration, 6-bit quantification, saturation and overglow. By the end of 2011, a
new instrument will be launched, the Visible-Infrared Imager-Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)
onboard the NPOESS1
Preparatory Project (NPP) satellite. This instrument remedies some of
the shortcomings of the DMSP-OLS instrument, but it still is not designed for earth
observation of nighttime lighting and lacks many specifications we advocate here. On June
10th 2011, the High Sensitivity Camera (HSC) onboard the Aquarius/SAC-D satellite was
launched successfully. This instrument has a panchromatic band (450 – 610 nm) and a
resolution of 200-300 meters. The foreseen products and other characteristics are yet
unknown to the authors. |
