Oh this is a good one! Joining me today are Tatsiana Thomson from Brome, journalist and author Lynne Peeples, and one of my favorite returning guests, John Barentine.

This episode, we look at realistic drone shows, how one tribe in Arizona views the night sky, and we ask, does an increase in GDP necessarily mean a corresponding increase in light pollution?

Settle in and enjoy this episode of Light Pollution News!

This episode is one you won’t want to miss! A bridge turns its lights off for birds-you heard that right. More evidence for how our endless daytime affects plants. And can artificial light at night influence puberty’s onset?

With me this episode are returning guests, jack of all trades, Mr. John Barentine, author and journalist, Lynne Peeples, and bird lover – aficionado, Tatsiana Thomson from Brome!

This is a good one! Here we go!

This is going to be a good one! You won’t want to miss it!

This episode, why doesn’t religion embrace the night sky? And is astrourism at its highest peak? We cover some health and ecology articles this episode – along with listener feedback!

I welcome back to the show, astronomer, James Lowenthal, the host of the Night Sky Tourist podcast, Vicky Derksen, and lawyer / researcher, Yana Yakushina!

This is a fun one! Let’s kick it off!

What a show we have for you today! The FCC wants to keep the National Environmental Policy Act away from the Space Economy; the US Open showcases how good sports lighting can be; and how do you define ‘pollution’?

Listen to all this and more! With me today is Yana Yakushina, so you know it’s going to be a good one! Also here is astronomer, James Lowenthal, and host of the Night Sky Tourist podcast, Vicky Derksen!

Hang on! A new Light Pollution News is coming right up!

Discover how one artist is tackling light pollution through whimsical street art. Berlin visual artist Alona Rodeh joins the show to discuss her viral "Nightcaps" project - 3D-printed "hats" that transform unshielded street lamps into community art while reducing light pollution.

In this episode, Bill McGeeney interviews Vasu Menon, a NC State computer science student who created Stargazer.org - a revolutionary web app that solves every amateur astronomer's planning nightmare. Born from a frustrating full-moon stargazing trip to Virginia's Stanton River park, this tool combines dark sky locations, weather forecasts, and lunar data into one simple interface.

An interesting study looks at what happens when we frame the ideas around light pollution differently. More evidence for metabolism related disruption from light at night in circadian rhythms. And what is actually the biggest offender robbing us of vital sleep and our night sky!

I welcome back to the show, a dark sky advocate who’s helping to right the night outside of New York City, Mr. Steve Mariconda, and, just in time for some environmental talk, Mr. Frank Turina rejoins us!

A lot of good stuff in here today! Be sure to settle in, you’re going to like this one!

Today, we have a lot of policy related activity. Smart policies getting set up in Virginia, an amusement park that apparently flipped the bird to migrating birds, and reading the fine print in Pittsburgh’s new LED conversion.

Listen to all this and more as we have a new voice join us today – Mr. Steve Mariconda and an old friend returns, Mr. Frank Turina!

You’ll definitely want to check out this one. A new Light Pollution News is coming up, next!

You do not want to miss this one! We dive into all things ecology with BugLife’s own David Smith! Also, where do we balance nighttime conservation with societal progress?

I welcome back Kelly Beatty, of Sky and Telescope, lighting designer, Kerem Asfuroglu of Dark Source, and Buglife’s David Smith!

Find a bogong moth and listen in for an invertebrate driven show this month! And be sure to check out Buglife’s new ‘Don’t Neglect the Night’ campaign!

On this episode, a new crime study tells us that maybe streetlights aren’t as impactful as public officials claim they are; also this episode – do streetlights get a bad rap, and, what if a protective coating could drop satellite brightness by half!

All this and much more engaging conversation to be had! With me this month are Sky and Telescope’s Kelly Beatty, fresh off of his recent cruise ship engagement, Dark Source’s Kerem Asfuroglu, and David Smith...who comes bearing a new campaign!

You’ll certainly want to stick around for this one! All this is next!
