    Did you know that the beautiful Milky Way might soon disappear from our night sky? Light pollution, caused by all the bright lights in cities, is making the stars harder to see. Scientists say that in just 20 years, most people on Earth won't be able to spot the Milky Way without special trips to remote areas. It's like losing a piece of cosmic history right above our heads! Luckily, some places are working to reduce light pollution by using dimmer, shielded lights to protect the view.
