Күн бұрын

More and more satellites are going to obstruct the view for astronomers, but as Jo Marchant points out, it will also affect the cultural, spiritual and psychological aspects for everyone when they don’t have a clear view of the stars. Jo explains, in her book, The Human Cosmos: Civilisation and the Stars, how it is evident from ancient cave drawings that early man used the stars to mark the passage of time. She argues that the invention of mechanical clocks meant that we no longer needed to look to the sun and stars to mark time. So take off your watch, put away your phone, cover your digital clock and just take in the majesty of the stars.
Jo Marchant is a New York Times bestselling author and speaker. Her writing explores the nature of humanity and our universe, from the mind-body connection to the mysteries of past civilisations and the awesome power of the night sky.

Another great discussion. As a career environmental regulator my bottom line is regulation of artificial light much like water and air etc. This could be done in a fairly straightforward manner by the right people. What this discussion reminds me of is the amount of cultural back filling that is needed to get people on board with this need at a grass roots level. I wish this topic was number one on the list of global issues that the World Economic Forum, but it is not. This gets back to the second action item - the need to restore a proper arms length distance between corporations and government rather than the Fascistic top down model where they are all meeting together and high fiving over the next profit making opportunity. Governmnet's role is to implement responsible regulations that benefit the people, not help corporations get richer. Further, as pointed out in this discussions, and I've seen this over and over in the environmental arena, compliance with responsible regulations actually improves business models and makes businesses money. These regulations would ideally be adopted at the State or Federal level, not local but that would take a ton of enlightened leadership that we don't have at this time any where in the world that I am aware of.
