Artificial lighting has chased away the dark with devastating effect on insects, birds, humans and other species. Fireflies simply stop blinking rather than compete with lights, giving up their breeding success for our artificial lights. With Ken Walczak of Adler Planetarium and DarkSky Chicago, learn about the dark skies movement, ways to bring back the dark, and if brighter is really safer. Could Evanston become a dark skies city?
