Dark Skies - Saving the Nighttime Environment January 6, 2011

Join us on for a special presentation and discussion with Milt Roney, International Dark Skies Association.

Look up - can you see many stars? Can you even see the Milky Way?

If someone smeared red paint across the Mona Lisa, there's be an immediate response. The canvas of our night sky has been marred by urban light pollution, but the process was so gradual we hardly squawked.

Light by light, we are losing the night sky that is the source of inspiration, comfort and constancy to people throughout the world. The night sky is a national treasure that is now getting national attention.

This talk describes the components of light pollution - light trespass, glare, and sky glow - and the many ways they affect us. Bring your ideas and questions for a discussion about what can be done locally and nationally.
