This seems a little exaggerated. Kitt Peak is only slightly closer to the border than it is to Tucson. Any lights they put along the border will pale in comparison to the lights of Tucson. I live in Arizona and go to Tucson frequently. The city puts up a big light dome. I don't believe these border lights will have a significant effect on Kitt Peak light problems, unless they are talking carbon arc search lights pointed up or something like that. erikhansen@TheBlueZone.net wrote:
Hi All, For those who missed the SLAS general meeting, Dr. Kieda relayed distressing news, the US-Mexican border is going to be lit for several miles on either side with unsheilded lights. So rest in peace Kitt Peak and say so long to all the progress the International Dark Sky Association has made over the last decade.
