Not What You Think With Zacha Rosen

There’s this thing that’s disappearing in cities across the world: the entire Milky Way. Light pollution means that more and more people can’t see our own galaxy in the sky. A view which used to be a fundamental human experience. Angel Lopez-Sanchez is an astronomer at the the Australian Astronomical Observatory (AAO) and Macquarie University who knows what we’re missing and what we can do about it. Links from this episode: Angel’s blog, the Lined Wolf and his post on light pollution. Find a good piece of dark sky to find the Milky Way on with the Dark Sky Map. Or read about Australia’s recently-declared, first Dark Sky Park.
