Re: [Utah-astronomy] Light Pollution in S L Tribune
Wonderful article, Shelia. Thanks. - Kurt P.S. - There was an article last year about a small city just north of Brighman City that adopted a light pollution control ordinance. I cannot find the article link. Does anyone remember the city or article?
Ditto from me -- didn't know you subscribed to this newsgroup, Sheila. I think we who care about the night sky should campaign, again, for decent light pollution standards. The argument should be made on two grounds: light pollution is a terrible scourge, destroying nighttime access to the views that should be our natural heritage, and it wastes resources when people beam energy into the sky. The last few times made astronomy expeditions to the Wedge, I was annoyed by the big arc of light pollution off toward Moab.
