Recently, however, astronomers heralded the return of Comet C\/2022 E3 (ZTF) as a once-in\u2013a-lifetime cosmic event for all of humanity to witness.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed the \u201cgreen comet\u201d by hopeful observers, it is currently passing through our solar system for the first time in 50,000 years. But, as stargazers turn their eyes to the heavens in excitement, light pollution from cities and other manmade sources \u2013 known as \u201cskyglow\u201d \u2013 will prevent millions from witnessing its long-awaited encore.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few decades back, urban and suburban astronomers could manually aim their telescopes at the heavens and find some wonder of the night sky. Today, light pollution is challenging amateurs and professionals alike.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2022\/06\/light-pollution-health-climate\/#:~:text=How%20have%20levels%20of%20light,be%20even%20higher%20than%20that.\">research<\/a> from the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) revealed a 49 percent increase in global light pollution over the last 25 years owing to mass urbanization and 24-hour advertisement. With large cities in the United States among the brightest places on the planet, millions of urban and suburban residents are being deprived of dark nights, shimmering skies, and the fundamental joys of stargazing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_349\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-349\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-349 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6814-1024x1017.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6814-1024x1017.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6814-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6814-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6814-768x762.jpg 768w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6814-1536x1525.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6814-2048x2033.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seen from Brooklyn at midnight, the Empire State Building makes the night sky glow like day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Skyglow has become so excessive that New York City astronomers like Mauri Rosenthal have been forced to use expensive optical equipment and sophisticated image-processing software to artificially cut light pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenthal, a retired medical executive and active member of the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York (AAA), spends his Thursday nights perusing the sky for new astronomical targets. But these weekly observations are far more complex than simply peering into a telescope.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting with fellow AAA observers and city residents from his backyard in Yonkers, Rosenthal flips open his laptop, starts a Zoom call, and fires up what he calls his \u201curban astronomy\u201d system: multiple scopes and cameras tangled with cords and connected devices.<\/p>\n<p>Due to light pollution from New York City\u2019s metropolitan environs, Rosenthal was forced to adapt his hobbies of astronomy and astrophotography in order to counteract the brightness of the urban sky.<\/p>\n<p>Since the gear necessary for urban astronomy often comes with an exorbitant price tag, most amateur astronomers have no choice but trek to observatories or dark-sky sites outside the city, or virtually connect with semi-pros like Rosenthal for a vicarious experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people assume there is very little you can see in the city. And compared to a pristine dark site, they are correct,\u201d wrote AAA member Jason Tang in an <a href=\"https:\/\/aaa.org\/2018\/09\/01\/a-brief-history-of-sidewalk-astronomy\/\">article<\/a> for AAA\u2019s online publication, <em>Eyepiece. <\/em>\u201cBut for many people, looking through a telescope at a public outreach event marks the first time they will have ever seen one of the planets or the moon in detail with their own eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Tang, while the equipment needed to view the stars has evolved as light pollution has increased, the core idea of generating interest in astronomy through public outreach has not changed much over time. In fact, AAA grew out of a rich history of amateur and \u201csidewalk\u201d astronomy in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>In the mid-1800s, a large contingent of telescope enthusiasts branched off from New York\u2019s camera industry and organized into a thriving community of telescope makers, scientists, and amateur astronomers. According to AAA vice president Bart Fried in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaasky.nyc\/podcast\/14-the-history-of-telescope-making-in-nyc-with-bart-fried\/\">interview<\/a> on the <em>AAA Sky <\/em>podcast, \u201cPeople already understood that you needed darker skies and the streetlights of New York City were prohibitive, even then.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sidewalk astronomy in New York predates even the Amateur Astronomers Association, which formed out of the newly created Astronomy Division at the American Museum of Natural History in 1927. Throughout the 1920s, a series of unprecedented astronomical events\u2013not unlike the green comet\u2013galvanized public interest in astronomy.<\/p>\n<p>Around this time, astronomers like Arthur Nursey, who was known as the \u201ctelescope man\u201d of Union Square for over 30-years, began bringing telescopes to the streets for the public to use. According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/timesmachine.nytimes.com\/timesmachine\/1932\/08\/06\/100841199.html?pageNumber=13\">obituary<\/a> in the New York Times in 1932, Nursery, who had studied astrophysics at Oxford University, spent the latter decades of his life urging passers-by to \u201cgaze upon the wonders of the universe, see the mountains of the moon, the pale splendor of the Pole Star, and the beauty of Saturn\u201d for just 10 cents.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 70 years later, under even brighter skies, this tradition was revitalized when AAA member and NYC Urban Park Ranger Keith Rowan established <a href=\"https:\/\/aaa.org\/wiki\/nyc-urban-starfest-background-history-of-the-event\/\">Starfest<\/a>, a free annual astronomy festival in Central Park, in 1995. Stemming from a long history of public astronomy gatherings in New York, Starfest has allowed city residents without high-powered telescopes to view the moon, stars, eclipses, and nebulae in person and has grown from hundreds to thousands of attendees since its inception.<\/p>\n<p>Today, in addition to Starfest, members of AAA regularly lead groups of city residents to darker spots in the outer boroughs, such as Floyd Bennett Field or Fort Greene in Brooklyn, to observe the visible stars and planets.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for amateur astronomers, however, the last quarter century has also seen the mass expansion of cities like New York. As fluorescent streetlights abound and dazzling high-rises fill every square inch of available real estate, light pollution has skyrocketed.<\/p>\n<p>This is the foggy reality of most Americans\u2013only 1 percent of whom can see the Milky Way.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_350\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-350\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-350 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6052-2-1024x996.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6052-2-1024x996.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6052-2-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6052-2-768x747.jpg 768w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6052-2-1536x1494.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-6052-2-2048x1992.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Each night, an empty sky hangs above &#8220;The City That Never Sleeps&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOn one hand light pollution is increasing rapidly and humanity is not too slowly losing our view of the stars,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/aaa.org\/2018\/12\/01\/international-dark-sky-association-annual-general-meeting\/\">wrote<\/a> AAA board member Stan Honda for <em>Eyepiece<\/em>. \u201cOn the other hand, legions of scientists, professional and amateur astronomers, community activists, park rangers, artists and others are working feverishly, with many success stories, to mitigate artificial lighting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To this day, amateur astronomers and organizations like AAA remain New York City\u2019s lifeline to the stars.

He connected to Zoom and scanned the sky for faint streaks of green through high-powered binoculars, but comet C\/2022 E3(ZTF) was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, \u201cAs is often the case, astrophotography reveals the invisible,\u201d Rosenthal wrote on his photoblog alongside a photo of a single green dot in a white starfield. With a costly assemblage of gear and after hours to collect and process images, he can capture almost any deep-space object targeted by astronomers in darker areas.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Rosenthal\u2019s mission to \u201cmake the invisible visible for New Yorkers,\u201d however, the vast majority of people living in cities do not have access to high-end astronomy gear or the outreach of organizations like AAA.<\/p>\n<p>With 80 percent of the world\u2019s population and 99 percent of Americans and Europeans living under <a href=\"https:\/\/education.nationalgeographic.org\/resource\/light-pollution\">skyglow<\/a>, the unfortunate reality is that, for most people, the Green Comet will likely come and go without a trace until its next world tour in 52,023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"entry-excerpt\">Blinded by light pollution, urban astronomers are seeking new ways to connect with the cosmos In the heart of the last ice age, early Homo sapiens may have been too busy fending off saber-tooth tigers&#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/editorsvision.com\/dopamine\/new-york-astronomers-are-finding-joy-in-darkness\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New York Astronomers Are Finding Joy in Darkness<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":135,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-experiences"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New York Astronomers Are Finding Joy in Darkness - Dopamine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New York Astronomers Are Finding Joy in Darkness - Dopamine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Blinded by light pollution, urban astronomers are seeking new ways to connect with the cosmos In the heart of the last ice age, early Homo sapiens may have been too busy fending off saber-tooth tigers...
