Description
The Dark Sky Meter app is an award-winning app that allows users to measure light pollution in their area. With this app, you can easily see how much artificial light is polluting the night sky in your location and share valuable information with light pollution researchers world wide.The idea to measure the sky brightness with a smartphone camera arose during a walk in the mountains. It initially seemed impossible, but after a lot of experimenting (ranging from dark areas to toilets) it worked!
