摘要: We present a method to map the artificial sky brightness across large territories in astronomical photometric bands with resolution of approximately 1 km. This is useful quantify situation night pollution, recognize potential sites and allow future monitoring trends. The chosen direction at given position on Earth's surface obtained by integration contributions produced every area surrounding. Each contribution computed based detailed models for propagation atmosphere upward light flux emitted area. measured top radiometric observations made Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System. We applied described Europe obtaining maps V B bands.
