Is light pollution harming human and animal kind on earth?

Though darkness often carries the weight of fear of what hides beyond the shadows, it remains essential to life on Earth. In this episode, we’re joined by Jennifer Howse, the Education Specialist at the University of Calgary’s Rothney Astrophysical Observatory. She shares with us the impact of light pollution and the timeless beauty of Indigenous night-sky stories—revealing how darkness, too, guides the way we live and see the world as Albertans.

Please join us in celebrating the work Jennifer has done for Rothney Observatory - happy Retirement Jennifer.
