Conservation Conversation – Losing the Night Sky

The sky has always held meaningful cultural and scientific importance. Observing the sky allows us to share stories, gather data, and learn more about Earth and the Universe. But over the years, we have slowly changed our view of the night sky.

Join Lisa Will, a professor of Astronomy and Physics at San Diego City College, for a presentation on how light pollution and satellite constellations impact our view of the sky. Lisa has spent her career researching the nature of dust grains in space and innovations in astronomy education. She earned a B.S. in Astrophysics from UCLA and a Ph.D. in Physics from Arizona State University. Today, Lisa is the Resident Astronomer at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park.
