15. Purpose http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/images/hs-2002-10-c-web.jpg To examine the difference between the pollution of light in Manhasset, NY as opposed to the lack of pollution in Montauk, NY.

16. Hypothesis Null Hypothesis: no difference between the light pollution in both areas Alternate Hypothesis: light pollution will be greater in Manhasset than in Montauk http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/images/hs-2002-10-c-web.jpg

17. Methodology Light Pollution Measured by the DSS-7 Control: sky measured by DSS-7 in Montauk, NY Variable: sky measured DSS-7 in Manhasset, NY Procedure Measured once a week in Montauk and imaged, measured once a week in Manhasset and imaged over 7 months Measurement Night light sources as observation points, visibility analysis Analysis Graph/map of data collected Amounts vs. types of light pollution analyzed http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/images/hs-2002-10-c-web.jpg
