Maps of the loss of naked eye limiting magnitude at zenith
This map show the loss of the capability of the population to see the stars in Europe. It is obtained simply by the difference between a map of the star visibility and a map of the same quantity evaluated assuming no light pollution in the area. The loss of naked eye limiting magnitudes is computed for observers of average experience and capability, aged 40 years, with the eyes adapted to the dark, observing with both eyes toward the zenith the first star surely seen.

Money is important, but it isn’t everything. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development created the Your Better Life Index to compare the quality of life as well as economic prowess of its 34 member countries. The index measures each country using 11 different lines, including income, employment, health, education, environmental quality, and its citizens’ opinions about life satisfaction, work-life balance, and a sense of community. Because people have different priorities, the OECD index allows them to rank countries according to their own values. The United States remains at the top for income and wealth, but it lags behind as a place to live a long and happy life.
