Subject: Next Shuttle mission (this week) has light pollution experiment

It's kind of simple. A group of students on Earth will look at an area
of space from various points around Canada and the Canadian astronaut
will do the same from space. The difference in stars seen will be used
to quantify the effect of light pollution. Not really scientific, but
at least it made the news.
