Presented by Ed Potosky
Have you ever heard of light pollution? Our skies are meant to be dark at night and are increasingly getting brighter. While this might seem only a concern for astronomers, its effects are widespread in nature. Ed is a retired Software Engineer and lifelong amateur astronomer. He is currently a tour guide at the University of Pittsburgh Allegheny Observatory, a historic astronomical research institution. He also assists with astronomy lab classes at the observatory. This presentation will describe the types of light pollution and explain how it affects us, animals and plants. Along with actions you can take to help minimize.
*Please Note: This is a morning meeting. Also, this meeting is the 3rd week of the month due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
