Dark skies above world's best astronomy sites could be ruined by new energy project

75% Informative
A green energy plant expected to be built in Chile 's Atacama Desert could increase night-time sky brightness at one of the world's most valuable astronomical locations by up to 35% , a new study has revealed.
The astronomical site in peril is Mount Paranal , where the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located.
A new study released by ESO on Monday calculates that the night sky above VLT could brighten up by 35% , as the telescope is located less than 7 miles ( 11 kilometers ) from the plant.
Paranal site is one of the few remaining in the world where light pollution so far remains negligible.
The pristine night sky combined with the dryness of the Atacama air provide the best conditions for astronomical study in the whole world.
Light pollution is a major problem affecting astronomical observatories all over the world.
