Shot mostly in California, the movie shows how the view gets progressively better as you move away from the lights. Finding locations to shoot at every level of light pollution was a challenge and getting to the darkest skies with no light pollution was a journey in itself. Here\u2019s why I think we should care more.<\/p>\n<p>The night skies remind us of our place in the Universe. Imagine if we lived under skies full of stars. That reminder we are a tiny part of this cosmos, the awe and a special connection with this remarkable world would make us much better beings &#8211; more thoughtful, inquisitive, empathetic, kind and caring. Imagine kids growing up passionate about astronomy looking for answers and how advanced humankind would be, how connected and caring we\u2019d feel with one another, how noble and adventurous we\u2019d be. How compassionate with fellow species on Earth and how one with Nature we\u2019d feel. Imagine a world where happiness of the soul is more beautiful. Ah, I feel so close to inner peace. I can only wonder how my and millions of other lives would have changed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On a related note, check out how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpr.org\/news\/story\/two-colorado-towns-look-preserve-view-starry-nights\">two towns in Colorado have become a haven for star watchers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NewImage.png\" src=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NewImage-29.png\" alt=\"NewImage\" width=\"599\" height=\"323\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By day Googler\u00a0Sriram Murali keeps spam out of your inbox; by night he captures thrilling images of the stars whirling past us\u2014or rather, of us whirling past them: He writes, Lost in Light, a short film on how light pollution affects the view of the night skies.
