In this episode of Space on Earth, student hosts from Taos, New Mexico dive into the topic of light pollution—what it is, where it comes from, and why it matters. They explore how artificial light impacts everything from stargazing to wildlife, pollination, human health, and even astronomical research. The conversation highlights real-world events like the 1994 L.A. blackout and global efforts such as International Dark Sky Week and France’s light pollution policies. With personal reflections, local examples, and actionable solutions, this episode is a compelling reminder of how reconnecting with the night sky can inspire wonder—and why protecting it matters.
