About Us
| The night sky in Wisconsin can be enjoyed by every state resident and visitor. Tourists to the Wisconsin countryside can see the Milky Way and Aurora Borealis. Amateur astronomers must travel to rural Wisconsin to see farther into space than anyone in urban areas could dream. The steady increase of low-quality outdoor lighting, however, takes that nighttime pleasure away.

"Lighting and Health"There's beauty in the night sky, and according to Joy Cardin's guest, we could enjoy it more and save energy if we reduce light pollution. Guest: David Liebl, Pollution Prevention Specialist with the University of Wisconsin Extension. |
