Less of Our Light for More Star Light / Saving Energy; Saving our Night Skies

NEW! 2012 Dates for GLOBE at Night

In 2012 there will be four opportunities to participate in GLOBE at Night:
January 14-23  /February 12-21 / March 13-22 / April 11-20

The GLOBE at Night program is an international citizen-science campaign to raise public awareness of the impact of light pollution by inviting citizen-scientists to measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations to a website from a computer or smart phone. Light pollution threatens not only our “right to starlight”, but can affect energy consumption, wildlife and health. The GLOBE at Night campaign has run for two weeks each winter/spring for the last six years. People in 115 countries have contributed 66,000 measurements, making GLOBE at Night one of the most successful light pollution awareness campaigns.
