150 FEWER IGNORANT BRITS!

Folks, 

We have just reached 150 signatures, which means there are 150 fewer UK residents completely oblivious to the fact it never gets darker than astronomical twilight throughout the whole country around the longest day of the year.

I have set a symbolic milestone to reach 200 by the Winter Solstice on December 21st.

I created this petition to end a common misconception that "White NIghts" only affect "high latitudes" (generally defined as latitudes above 60 degrees North) when they in actual fact affect mid-latitudes like 49 degrees North).

This seems completely counterintuitive, but it is 100% scientifically true, just like you only need 23 people to be in a room together to have a 50/50 chance of a birthday match!
