Abstract

La photo du ciel étoilé est une gageure en Belgique, tant la pollution lumineuse nous prive du spectacle de la nuit. Ce livre est à la fois un modeste essai de vulgarisation scientifique abordé au travers d'une petite histoire de l'astronomie depuis l'antiquité jusqu'à nos jours et surtout une tentative de faire comprendre, à travers mes images nocturnes, le désastre de la pollution lumineuse. La vue de notre univers est pourtant un des plus beaux spectacles que nous offre la Nature et il a guidé nos ancêtres dans leur compréhension du monde!

Abstract

Que voyons-nous lorsque, le soir venu, nous levons les yeux vers le ciel ? Pour la plupart d'entre nous, habitants des villes et alentour, pas grand-chose. Les occasions de s'émerveiller devant une voûte céleste parsemée d'étoiles sont de plus en plus rares. Aujourd'hui, la Voie lactée n'est plus visible pour plus d'un tiers de l'humanité. Plus de quatre-vingts pour cent de la population mondiale vit sous un ciel entaché de pollution lumineuse, une pollution qui, à l'échelle mondiale, ne cesse de s'accroître. Chaque soir, en France, ce sont onze millions de lampadaires qui s'allument ; chaque jour, plus de trois millions et demi d'enseignes lumineuses, sans compter les millions de lumières bleues de nos divers écrans rétroéclairés. Or, au-delà de l'appauvrissement de notre relation au ciel - une relation qui nourrit, depuis toujours, nos représentations du monde -, on. connaît désormais les effets négatifs de la lumière artificielle sur l'environnement et la santé. Érosion de la biodiversité, dérèglement de notre rythme biologique, perturbation de nos rythmes de sommeil, etc. Éteindre les lumières est un geste non seulement esthétique, mais aussi écologique et sanitaire. "Nous laissera-t-on un ciel à observer ? " s'inquiétaient déjà les astronomes amateurs dans les années 1970. Samuel Challéat retrace l'histoire de la revendication d'un " droit à l'obscurité u concomitant au développement urbain et décrit la manière dont s'organise, aujourd'hui, un front pionnier bien décidé à sauver la nuit.

Abstract

"A brilliantly starry night is one of nature's most thrilling wonders. Yet in our world of nights as bright as day, most of us no longer experience true darkness. Eight out of ten Americans born today won't ever live where they can see the Milky Way. And exposure to artificial light at night has been cited as a factor in health concerns ranging from poor sleep to cancer. In his gorgeous debut, The End of Night, Paul Bogard travels the globe to find the night, blending personal narrative, natural history, health, science, and folklore to shed light on darkness. Showing exactly what we've lost, what we have left, and what we might hope to regain, he attempts nothing less than a restoration of how we see the spectacularly primal, wildly dark night sky."--
