In this episode, we spoke to Michael Marlin who is a dark sky advocate. We talked about how light pollution is affecting our lives without us paying much attention to its negative effects. He explains why people should care about this issue and also tells us how to feel more connected with the universe by observing the night's sky. We also talked about other light polluting infrastructures like the Las Vegas "Sphere" and asked his thoughts on all of them.
