Change of Light Pollution in Calgary 2010-2021

Caption

Astronaut photographs of parts of Calgary (Canada) show examples of how lighting changed from 2010-2021: New lighting has been installed and many streetlights have been converted from orange high pressure sodium to white LED. (Note: The photos are not taken with the same settings, and have different spatial resolution. Thus, the 2010 photo appears somewhat brighter.
