When using the Light Pollution Map, I can easily interact to view the light pollution situation around the world. The website provides rich data sources, including NOAA/EOG VIIRS and user-contributed observational data, to help us understand the observability of the night sky. The interface is user-friendly, with intuitive operation, making it suitable for astronomers and researchers to use.

From the map, it can be seen that the North China Plain and eastern regions of China have relatively severe light pollution, which is also related to population density.
