About a 4 on that scale.

I live in a small town but the light pollution extends for a few miles out of the city limits. Not as bad as a suburban sky because this is really the only town of an appreciable size for fifty miles in any direction.

9 but i can still see some stars if it's clear enough

True dat. If you step one foot outside the Planty (which is upkept for the sake of tourists), all the buildings are dark with soot.

We're gonna be Beijing soon.

Oh boy, my family town is in eastern Poland and I went to school there when I was younger and moved to western Poland when I got older. Eastern Poland is still behind the rest of the country but it's also their style of life, most people there are farmers and villages dot the terrain so I don't think it's going to change much even if investments are brought in (which already are being done in the bigger cities there).

Where I live we have specific laws against light pollution because we've an international observatory up in the mountains.

Tuva? Did you go there specifically for that?

>>59684116
You're confsuing regular pollution with light pollution.
Light polution is about how lit your city and now many strong source of light it has. In very simple terms, your streer light blinds you and you can't see faint stars
>>
>>59685920
I wasn't refering to light pollution in that post, for light pollution tho we're also pretty bad, there is only a handfull of places in Poland where you can see 1-2.

This is the area where most of Russian gas is mined. There's barely any cities there, that's probably gas flares burning off procuts of refining.
