Title: “FIGHTING TO IMPROVE IRELAND’S NIGHT SKIES”,
Details: Artificial lighting used inappropriately or excessively causes light pollution, adversely affecting the environment, the health of humans and wild animals, biodiversity, and (through energy waste) the climate. The last few generations of city dwellers are the first in human history to be denied a sight of the starry heavens.
Dark Sky Ireland campaigns to halt and reverse the progressive light pollution of our night skies. Brian Espey, Associate Professor of Physics at Trinity College Dublin, is its chairperson. He will talk about the successes that have been achieved and the next steps.
Date: Monday, April 15th 2024.
Time: 8pm sharp -9:45pm. Please arrive a few minutes early
