Light is fundamental - it interacts with life in profound ways. It tells us when to sleep, wake, eat; it tells plants which way to grow, birds where to fly and coral when to spawn. But light is changing, dramatically, and we don't truly understand the consequences. Nature writer Anna Levin explores the impact on the planet and on human health.
