Dark Sky Tas at Nocturna

Dark Sky Tasmania attended Nocturna, the Dark Sky Party at Spring Bay Mill as part of the Beaker Street science festival on the 13th of August.

Board members Dr. LisaCawthen and Miriam Shevland each gave a talk on how Dark Sky affects the work they do.

Lisa's talk dealt with bats, our superheroes of the sky, and how light pollution is disturbing their habitats and food sources while Miriam spoke about the effective use of lighting in landscapes and how to remain dark sky friendly while also being safe and beautiful.

Surrounded by stars, telescopes, art and music the event was very enjoyable and not to be missed next year!
