The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History has a rather large exhibit
focused on light pollution. There is a long summary of the exhibit at
https://naturalhistory.si.edu/explore/story-map/lights-out There are lots
of examples where you can use a slider to see the difference between good
and bad lighting and the impact of light pollution. I thought the exhibit
was very well done. While we were there, there were lots of visitors.
Hopefully the message gets out. This is somewhat old news since the exhibit
opened last March.
