Teaching Dark Skies Awareness as Part of the International Year of Light

Loch Ness Productions Fulldome Show Selected as a Global Resource

Loch Ness Productions is pleased to announce that Losing the Darkthe short PSA about light pollution that we created for and with the International Dark-Sky Association was selected as a featured resource by the organizers of the International Year of Light.

The International Year of Light is a series of events that kicked off on January 1 and features activities centered on understanding light and its effects and uses around the world. Light pollution is an important part of the IYL message, and we’re incredibly proud to be part of the celebration. You can read more about it on the IYL page.

Check out some of the other activities planned for the International Year of Light, a United Nations UNESCO global initiative. It highlights to the citizens of the world the importance of light and optical technologies in their lives, for their futures, and for the development of society. It is an unique opportunity to inspire, educate, and connect on a global scale.

In addition, Losing the Dark is the focus of a presentation being given on January 8, 2015 at the American Astronomical Society’s winter meeting. CEO Carolyn Collins Petersen will talk about the show’s ongoing outreach, as part of a session on related IYL activities.

Losing the Dark is a 6.5-minute-long PSA available free for download for both fulldome and “flat screen” presentation. You can view the show and get more details about getting it at the first link above and also on the IDA’s web site.
