It ’s obvious to anyone with orb that there ai n’t no blamed stars in the urban center , while there are about a gazillion and one out in the countryside . But what do the various gradations of promiscuous defilement actually look like?Sriram Muralipointed his camera to the Nox sky to show you the progression of light contamination and when it starts screwing us from see genius .

Using the Bortle scale to value light pollution ( where Class 8 is a bad metropolis sky and social class 1 is the darkest sky ) , Murali shows us what the sky looks like in a city like San Jose ( that ’s a Class 8) and liken it to each story all the way down to Death Valley ( a Class 1 ) .

It ’s really neat to be capable to see so many different levels of light pollution .
