Abstract

ScienceLinx and Forum Groningen have developed a campaign called Meet-O-Theek (MOT), where interested Dutch Northern citizens are encouraged to contribute in Science and Technology (S&T) by mapping their environment and potentially even cause action to improve their environment, trough Citizen Science. It has been argued that Light Pollution is the best succeeding MOT campaign topic with respect to S&T engagement, cost and potential source of complaint. Light pollution is an un- derestimated problem in our current environment, considering its serious negative impact on human health, astronomy, eco-systems and economics. With its additional aesthetic loss that most European citizens have already lost the ability to see the Milky Way with the naked eye (Chepesiuk, 2009). The existing night sky brightness (NSB) monitoring devices were analysed and it was found that none of the existing devices fulfilled all defined requirements. Therefore, this research also contributed to the development of a NSB sensor node appropriate for Citizen Science, by selecting components and defining the corresponding assembly.
