Do you want the stars back in the night sky? Then come to our next lecture and find out what you can do to fight light pollution!
Astrophotographer Pierre Tournay explains the term “light pollution”, and shows us how simple it is to use lights which protect the skies for future generations. Learn how to save money for yourself, the city, and the province, and how to increase security on our highways and homes – all the while protecting the skies and helping the environment. These are win-win solutions! Also part of this lecture is some “eye candy”: beautiful images of deep sky objects which illustrate our attraction to the night sky and the beauty of the universe. Finally, see a picture of the Earth that is guaranteed to show our planet in an entirely new way. All this in a solid 60 minutes …or a bit more.
