Andy:
from It's All About the Lighting, by Robert Lee Hotz, WSJ.com, 25 July 2008

About two-thirds of the world’s population, including almost everyone in the continental U.S. and Europe, no longer see a starry sky where they live. For much of the world, it never even gets dark enough for human eyes to adjust to night vision, reported an international team that mapped the geography of night lighting.
