Dr. John Barentine from the International Dark-Sky Association joins us to talk about the importance of dark skies!  Limiting light pollution is important for plants, animals, birds, and even humans.  

While we don't get too into the birdy aspect of it all, we know bird lovers are nature lovers and the nighttime is a whole other world of nature to explore with owls hooting, stars falling, and much, much more!

Main story at: 8:30
