Light pollution is no longer seen as a problem only for astronomy. Light pollution is an emerging environmental problem that comes along with more intensive urbanization and industrialization. In the last few years, it has been recognized as a serious pollution problem with negative consequences for the environment and human health. The threat to human health from light pollution has increased dramatically in recent decades, and it is estimated that today more than 80% of the world's population is affected by the prevalence of light pollution in various forms. The main producers of light pollution are large cities and industrial complexes, street and advertising lighting. Most of the emitted light is directed or reflected upwards, creating so-called light domes above the residences. In the night sky, changes in brightness are prominent in suburban environments, while these changes are less noticeable in rural landscapes. This thesis examines the state of light pollution and its impact on the brightness of the night sky in the Czech Republic and Ukraine for the period 2013-2021 using data from VIIRS satellite images received from the Google Earth Engine platform. JavaScript code was created for this data to group the images to create a map of light pollution damage per calendar year and classify...
