Photographers Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinovic of SKYGLOW have made and released a composited video to illustrate what New York City would look like if there were no light pollution blocking out the night sky.
The 3-minute video is in honor of the upcoming Dark Sky Week. Dark Sky Week is coming up from April 15th through the 21st this year. SKYGLOW is an ongoing project that raises awareness for endangered night skies and shows the dangers of light pollution.

Operson always had trouble understanding others. His failure to recognize what others' body language signified and his inability to grasp the hidden meaning behind their words caused significant stress for him. This was likely due to his autism. Perhaps this was why he couldn't find an answer to the question he had been pondering lately. That question was, "Why do the children scream?"
The heavily obese man thought about the question time and time again, but he could not find the answer. Operson loved children dearly; they were his favorites and he enjoyed playing with them. Operson also believed that the children loved him. So, then, why? Why did they scream when he played with them? As Operson sought out the answer, a snapping sound was heard; this caused the man to look downward. "Oops!" Operson said. The man had gotten distracted, and as a result, he accidentally became too rough and the child's small neck snapped. Yes, Operson loved children indeed.
"Oh, well. There are still three more here to play with!" the man said happily, as he looked towards the bound children. All of them were screaming, which mystified the man. Then, the answer to the question he had been seeking all along came to him! "They scream because they love me. They scream because they're having fun." the man said, in a tone that suggested he had discovered one of the world's hidden truths. Now he was truly excited. Operson began playing privates with the rest of the children. Three distinctive snapping sounds were heard that night, and those children never screamed again.
Operson, now incredibly sweaty, got up. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. He wanted to play more! Then, the man recalled that some nice people moved in down the street, and that they had a cute child. Operson's destination was set.
