About this Event
Spend an afternoon rediscovering the beauty of the night sky and learn how reducing light pollution can bring the stars back into view. Discover how starry skies have inspired wonder for generations and how protecting this natural treasure can benefit both our well-being and the environment.
Engage with astronomers, look through telescopes, and immerse yourself in the planetarium. Learn how artificial light at night impacts not only humans but also birds, insects, and plants. Connect with experts to understand how light pollution affects ecosystems, from fireflies and nocturnal pollinators to our own circadian rhythms and sleep patterns.
Light pollution, the excessive or misdirected artificial light that brightens our night skies, is a growing environmental issue with serious consequences we can address. Explore the different types of light pollution—like skyglow, light trespass and glare—and how they affect our ability to see the stars and enjoy the night.
You can be part of the solution! Discover simple ways to reduce light pollution and help protect the night sky for all.
