The Dark Sky Initiative is designed to educate about the adverse effects of light pollution and its simple solutions.
There was a Dark Skies workshop here at Yerkes on August 6th, 2016. You can learn more about that HERE.
Dark Skies also involves light pollution assessment. Globe at Night runs a website which collects these assessments. You can view our data from the Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy by clicking the link below.
Kishwauketoe Assessment (cumulative) The #150... readings are from July 1st, 2016 and the #154... readings are from August 5th, 2016.
We are taking these measurements because Kishwauketoe is starting the process of becoming a Dark Skies Park.
If you are interested in looking at the files and forms we use to take our readings, there is a Google Drive folder.
