Stargazing apps can ruin your night vision, Space.com says

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorStargazing apps can stop your eyes from adjusting to the dark, which can take up to twenty to thirty minutes, Space.com reports.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo takes, and I have the thermometer.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take: the red night mode is a gentle invitation for your eyes to feel safe. Your phone finally learned boundaries and a sunset palette.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. It's a red screen. It's not a sunset.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSpace.com warns the red mode works only inside the app. Press the home button and full colour comes back, with a brightness shock.

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne slip and you're twenty minutes from useful again.

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy take: the home menu is the most dangerous object in the garden.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. Slightly. It does bite.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOnly slightly? He's catastrophizing a menu.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVera, a menu is how every disaster starts. Ask anyone who has ever opened one at a restaurant.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFinal take. Put the phone away, sit in the dark, and wait twenty minutes. Then look up. Burn the phone.
