Mysterious 'Orange Anomaly' in Kamchatka's Sky Sparks Light Pollution Concerns

Residents in Kamchatka Krai's Elizovsky district have noticed an unusual 'orange anomaly' in the sky for several days. The mysterious glow is emanating from a greenhouse complex in Razdolnoe, where tomatoes and cucumbers are cultivated for local consumption.

The Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resource Usage (Rosprirodnadzor) and environmental group 'Ecology of Kamchatka' have raised concerns about the potential impact of the intense lighting on local wildlife and human biorhythms. The greenhouse complex, designed to grow crops, has a shading system to protect plants from external sunlight, but it does not address the issue of light pollution.

Roman Vasilevsky, a deputy chairman of the regional government, has proposed discussing the light pollution problem with the leadership of the greenhouse complex to find a solution that balances agricultural needs with environmental concerns.

The 'orange anomaly' in Kamchatka Krai's sky has sparked concern among local authorities and environmental groups. The greenhouse complex's intense lighting may negatively impact wildlife and human biorhythms. Discussions are underway to address this issue and find a suitable resolution.
