I really like how my interview ended! To reiterate: Special thank you to everyone who shares the night sky with the general public by volunteering your time and equipment!
And the episode wraps up with a nice discussion of ground-based urban light pollution, and why it's gotten so bad lately (it's because of LEDs - they are brighter, bluer, and cheaper, so they are hideously overused). But this is easy to fix: just turn it off.
Hope you enjoyed my breakfast live-toot-listening session haha

Related: I just started reading The Inner Clock by Lynne Peeples, all about how our bodies really do need exposure to light at the same time every day, and also need darkness, in order to keep pretty much everything functioning inside us. I'm only a chapter and a half in, but I already think it's really going to change how I use artificial light in my own house...
