Cosmos Night

---

One way to understand Vitae-planeta is to contemplate what bounds her: what lies above and below the Living Planet. According to the 2016 paper The New World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness about 30% of humans will never see the Milky Way from their homes due to night sky light pollution. 

Artificial  night sky brightness is a feature of human activities caused by the  over-spill of light from homes, business, streetlights, motor vehicles,  factories, oil production facilities and fishing vessels. Vita  believes that being able to see the Milky Way at night is an integral  part of the human experience, and this night sky pollution is an  important psychological component of the global sustainability crisis. Vitans should contemplate the cosmos as this helps to develop an appreciation of what lies above Vitae-planeta. What lies above Vitae-planeta is a vast expanse of space that is a frigid -273 degree Celsius and what is most visible is the Milky Way.
