Among the research on light pollution by the GUAIX group, we have recently launch the website www.citiesatnight.org which holds the first atlas of night time ISS images. This is a citizen science project leaded by UCM people.

• Dark Skies of ISS - This is the most simple web app that helps to clasificate the images.
• Night Cities -  Another web app to georeference cities (medium dificulty).
• Lost at Night - The purpose of this application is to locate images whose position is unknown. It is the most difficult of the three.

From the 17th to the 21st of July the UCM Observatory will welcome the intercomparison campaign Lønne network. This meeting is held every year to share techniques for measuring sky brightness. This time is done in the UCM Observatory and the LICA. Where participants can characterize their equipment and compare your measurements with those of other research groups.
