Program Description
Event Details
April 2–8 is International Dark Sky Week! We’ve been losing our view of the night sky since the beginning of the 20th century, when cities began to adopt electric streetlamps. Is this only a problem for astronomers? Or is there something you can do about it?
Come enjoy an evening of hands-on activities designed to explore how light pollution affects you, your health, and the environment. Stay a little later and learn how to make observations of the night sky that will allow you to gauge the level of light pollution in your own backyard, and more!
