Keeping
our skies dark
The Peterborough Astronomical Association is dedicated to preserving the night
sky and is actively involved in lobbying municipalities and corporations
to take steps to reduce "light-pollution".
Light pollution is the effect that large-scale lighting - such as in most cities
- has on our view of the stars at night.
