Light Pollution News

The path to neighborhood friendly starry night solutions begin with being a more informed you!

Ever wish you could see the stars at night? Well, here's your chance to join the conversation around how we can create a sustainable and equitable night that benefits people as much as it does ecology.

Light Pollution, once thought to be solely detrimental to astronomers, has proven to be an impactful issue across many disciplines of society including ecology, crime, technology, health, and much more!

Each month, Bill McGeeney is joined by upwards of three guests to help walk you through the news around this broad topic of light pollution/the sustainable night.
