Actual Astronomy - Light Pollution Edition

Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. Welcome to episode 135 of the Actual Astronomy Podcast, the light pollution edition, or maybe the “get rid of light pollution” additional. This episode places a focus on the troubling trend of increasing light pollution and its impact on astronomy and the general population.   The light near Chris's house that has been changed from the old fashioned spilling-every light-which-way Cobra head to a new almost full-cut-off. He says “almost” because they're not quite doing the trick is I would hope they would do, and they will need some adjustment for him to get used to.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
