I currently have offers to translate the Loss of the Night citizen science app into 3 additional languages. When I have at least 5 additional languages, I can arrange a new release. Please let me know if you are interested in helping by volunteering to translating two XML files and the text for the play and app stores into your native language. You can expect the job to take about four hours of translation time, plus about 20 minutes verifying that the translation works correctly in the app.
The app is already translated into: Arabic,
Catalan, Chinese, Czech,
French, German,
Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, and Turkish. If you are interested volunteering a new translation, please send an email to Christopher Kyba.

Top 5 posts of 2015
Here's the top five most read posts from this blog last year:
1) A brief introduction to the project - Hurrah for brevity!
2) The Globe at Night revisit project - Help us re-sample locations to see how the sky has changed.
3) Effect of a single floodlamp in a natural area - If you haven't seen the photo yet, check it out now!
4) Citizens push back on LED lighting - Want good lights? Talk to city hall!
5) Amazing new photos from the International Space Station - High-res photos of cities at night.
Thanks for reading! The current moon-free period runs until about the 10th. Help us track how the sky brightness were you live is changing with our app, Globe at Night, or the Dark Sky Meter app! Once you've made an observation, you can view it at My Sky at Night.
