Abandoned Observatory ID: 8041 | This file appears in: Warner and Swasey Observatory This recent view of the Warner and Swasey Observatory shows its unkempt appearance today. The facility lost its fight to remain viable as more and more suburban sources of artificial light brightened the night sky. The problem of light pollution, once confined to major metropolitan centers, has become almost inescapable nationwide in recent years. In a suburban nation, hardly anywhere experiences true darkness. | Creator: J. Mark Souther | Date: July 19, 2016 Download Original File CreatorJ.
