Abstract

Light pollution is a global environmental issue, which affects not only astronomical activities, but in addi-tion, that has biological effects on all photosensitive organisms, including humans. The SkyMeAPP project has the aim of contributing to the worldwide study of light pollution, through the advantages of citizen science. Specifically, it follows three main goals: (1) to gather data for research; (2) to generate networks among the general public and the scientific community; (3) to bring attention of society regarding light pollution.
