The Environmental Condition (Light Pollution and Radio Interference) of Chinese Astronomical Observatories, Past, Present, and Future
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Although China is a backward developing country, the population of many big cities has increased more than 100 percent since 1950. The light and smoke pollution for Shanghai Observatory and Purple Mountain Observatory is very serious, and in Kunming, for Yunnan Observatory, is also quite a problem. Now the only one where the observational condition is still quite good is the optical station of the Beijing Observatory, in XingLong County, Hebei Province. For the future, we plan to do some testing work on the Tibet plateau, where the population if very low, so there is no light pollution at all.
