LEMONICK ROGER RESSMEYER/CORBIS The W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii Yet for all the magnificence of the visible stars, astronomers know they are only the first shimmering veil in a cosmos vast beyond imagination. Armed with ever more powerful telescopes, these explorers of time and space have learned that the Milky Way is a huge, whirling pinwheel made of 100 billion or more stars; that tens of billions of other galaxies lie beyond its edges; and, most astonishing of all, that these galaxies are rushing headlong away from one another in the aftermath of an explosive cataclysm known as the Big Bang.

Known as the "Protection of the Atmosphere Act," the bill passed both houses of parliament (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) and was signed into law by President Vaclav Havel on February 27, 2002. It takes effect June 1, 2002, and addresses light and other kinds of air pollution. This news was announced Monday at the annual conference of the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) in Tucson, Arizona. The group, which has grown to more than 4,000 members in 69 countries across the globe since 1988, works to combat light pollution to preserve and protect the nocturnal environment. The IDA, a diverse group of astronomers, lighting designers and manufacturers, environmentalists, ecologists, government officials even ophthalmologists addresses the issue of light pollution with information sheets, videos, newsletters and media-savvy lobbying.

85. House Of Commons Standing Committee A (pt 4) Details of a failed attempt to add a clause to the 2003 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill to allow the regulation of lighting fixtures by local planning authorities. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200203/cmstand/a/st031021/pm/31021s04

Public Bill Committee Debates Standing Committee on Bills Planning and Compulsory Purchase (Re-committed) Bill back to previous text Mr. Clifton-Brown: For the first time the Minister is getting us into real politics. We know very well that the increased resources that the Government provide for planning go straight to the regions, not to local planning authorities. If local authorities had sufficient resources, there would not be a problem with enforcement. It is not a question of the resources being ring-fenced; councils do not have sufficient resources for planning, full stop. My authority does not have enough, and I am sure that other hon. Members could say the same. Councils cannot undertake enforcement on a discretionary basis. We want to legislate with a light touch, and we are in favour of discretion; if that were enshrined in the Bill, the Government would have to provide the resources. If they were to stop giving resources to the regions and put them back into the local authorities, we would take the new clause away like a shot. The Chairman: Order. Let us not go too wide; we must keep to new clause 31.
