Threats to astronomical observatory sites around the world from light pollution are growing, but the existing skyglow standard for site protection dates to nearly a half-century ago. Astronomers are considering a new standard to replace it given advances in lighting technology.

Read more about what's at stake for astronomy and how this effort developed: http://www.darkskyconsulting.com/blog/toward-a-new-standard-for-astronomical-observatory-site-protection

#Astronomy #NightSky #DarkSkies #SiteProtection #Observatories #LightPollution

The International Astronomical Union notes the need to update the 1980 joint CIE-IAU light pollution metric for astronomical observatory sites and "is currently considering drafting a resolution based on these recommendations to be submitted for approval at its next general assembly in 2027."

🎙️ ✨ The Art of Being Random – Ravioli in London, Unscripted Conversations, and Writing Magical Short Stories

One moment, we’re talking about hats. The next, it's #London's skyline, ravioli, and why my mom—at 70+—decided to start writing magical short stories for kids and the young at heart.

Welcome to Random and Unscripted #Podcast, where Sean Martin and I embrace the art of wandering conversations.

In this episode, we explore #creativity, #storytelling, and why the best ideas often come from unexpected places.

Storie Sotto Le Stelle started as a small project—just a few whimsical tales blending #Tuscan nostalgia with fantasy. Now, it’s a growing collection of stories where enchanted gardens, talking animals, and #AI #Robots ran #observatories all coexist.

What does it take to be creative? A little madness, a lot of curiosity, and, apparently, a habit of talking to imaginary friends.

"The industrial #megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies." (via @esoastronomy)

LOOK!

These odd plots represent the first data from the SKA-low telescope working as an interferometer.

Data comes from two stations (each with 256 antennas) where the signal is correlated. That little kink is the radio galaxy Centaurus A.

SKA is starting to come online!

SKA-low features these odd-looking antennas that resemble Christmas trees. 256 of them sit in a ‘station’ which acts as a single unit. Once construction is complete (end of decade) there will be 512 stations separated by distance creating a large virtual telescope.

SKA-low is the Australian side of the project and will feature over 131,000 antennas to cover the low-frequency bands.

This will complement SKA-mid, located in South Africa which will have an interferometer made of dish antennas and cove a huge bandwidth up to 15 GHz.
