Light pollution. How can something as essential as light be considered a pollutant? The answer lies not in light itself, but instead how we use artificial light at night.

For centuries, we have become accustomed to using artificial light after dark, treating it as a natural part of our lives. But it isn’t. Living organisms, including plants, animals, and humans, have adapted to the natural cycle of day and night for tens of millions of years. Our biological rhythms are closely tied to the rising and setting of the Sun each day. Disrupting this natural cycle with artificial light has serious consequences for our health, the environment, and the economy. As artificial lighting continues to increase around the world, understanding its impacts has never been more important.

In this program, discover what light pollution is, how it affects our world, and the simple steps we can take to protect our night skies. This program is followed by a quick look at the constellations, planets and other celestial wonders visible in the night sky from our region.

Show length ~ 40 min.
