| Abstract | Light pollution poses a critical environmental challenge that affects over 23% of the Earth’s landscape and increases annually. Living creatures use Earth’s predictable, 24-hr light:dark cycle to organize and optimize biological processes. While this has been beneficial for millions of years, the modern use of artificial light at night, which includes environmental light pollution and night shiftwork, hijacks light-sensing mechanisms and disrupts biological processes. Recently, light has been fo |
