13:26 Why does light pollution occur?
15:29 How can we address light pollution?
16:47 What other factors contribute to limited night sky visibility?
18:06 How does light pollution impact wildlife?
21:40 How does light pollution impact humans?
23:59 What kind of light bulb creates the most light pollution? Why?
28:04 How can we mitigate light pollution and preserve night sky visibility?
34:15 How is light pollution measured?
35:49 What are the cultural impacts of light pollution?
37:03 What concerns arise with the proliferation of satellites?
44:09 Recap and conclusion
Summary
In this episode of The Search Bar, Adam Sparkes interviews Aaron LaCluyzé, a faculty member in the Department of Physics at Central Michigan University, about light pollution and its impact on the environment and human well-being. They discuss the history of light pollution, its effects on the nighttime sky, and the importance of preserving dark skies. Aaron emphasizes the need to raise awareness about light pollution and make informed decisions about lighting, such as using shielded lights and turning off unnecessary lights. He also highlights the benefits of experiencing a dark sky and encourages listeners to visit dark sky parks or other remote locations to appreciate the beauty of the nighttime sky. The conversation also touches on the issue of satellite constellations and their impact on astronomy and space debris. Aaron concludes by urging individuals to act and advocate for measures to reduce light pollution.

- Light pollution and its impact on the environment and human well-being
- The history of light pollution and the invention of artificial light
- The analogy of noise pollution to understand light pollution
- The loss of dark skies and the inability to see stars in urban areas
- The importance of raising awareness about light pollution
- Efforts to combat light pollution through regulations and dark sky initiatives
- The impact of light pollution on wildlife, including sea turtles and migratory birds
- The negative effects of artificial light on human sleep patterns and health
- The use of LED lights and their impact on light pollution
