| Losing the Dark
A free new resource for planetariums everywhere: Losing the Dark, a short public service announcement from the International Dark-Sky Association and Loch Ness Productions that clearly and engagingly illustrates how our world is being drowned in light pollution.
The program may be downloaded for free in a variety of formats and languages. Originally released in English, versions are now available in German, Hindi, Korean, and Spanish, with more languages soon to come.
Losing the Dark also is available as a flatscreen video, and can be found on YouTube for online viewing, sharing, and embedding. It can be downloaded for use in classrooms, kiosks, museum theaters, and other multimedia presentations.
More information and downloading instructions can be found at Loch Ness Productions.
IPS provided seed money to start the project. Other generous supporters were Starmap, the Fred Maytag Family Foundation, members of the IDA, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory. |
