Protection of the Night Sky conference will tackle light pollution during IYA2009
2 September 2009
The 9th European Symposium for the Protection of the Night Sky will be taking place from 17 - 19 September 2009 in Armagh, Ireland. The Symposium will deal with the issue of light pollution, its effects on the environment, health, and astronomy, and examine how bad lighting is contributing to global climate change.
This year there is significant focus on education, with eight schools expected to participate. Informing young generations about the perils of excessive lighting and our deteriorating skies directly supports several of IYA2009's core aims.
