Episode 5 - Marnie Ogg - The Dark Sky Alliance

In this episode of the Circadia Podcast, we’re joined by Marnie Ogg, founder of the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance. Marnie shares her inspiring journey from a deep love of the stars to dedicating her life to protecting dark skies and promoting night-sky tourism.

We explore the environmental, cultural, and health impacts of light pollution and discuss practical steps communities can take to preserve our view of the stars. Marnie also highlights the upcoming Dark Sky Symposium in Melbourne next year—a must-attend event for anyone passionate about sustainability, astronomy, and responsible lighting.

It’s an enlightening conversation about reconnecting with the natural night and ensuring future generations can still marvel at the Milky Way.
