Light pollution is a modern scourge but a concerted effort to bring the darkness to Wales is under way \u2013 with the help of astronomy strolls led by experts wielding laser pens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The idea is to learn a little about the cosmos and the damage done by light pollution, and hopefully to encourage participants to contribute less unnecessary light in the evenings. The group pushes on into the chilly February night: heather fringes the footpath, and young ash trees are silhouetted ominously on the hillside to the left.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Above, there is a more obvious problem: cloud cover. \u201cIf you want to guarantee clouds, all you have to do is arrange an astronomy event,\u201d says astronomer and college lecturer Rob Jones. \u201cBut darkness is about more than just stars,\u201d he adds quickly.<\/p>\n

Low clouds amplify the light pollution on the fringes of this deeply dark place. The small town of Ruthin appears as obnoxiously bright as Las Vegas Boulevard compared with the inky valleys around it. Chester lies over the horizon to the east, but glows as though aflame, its light bouncing off the clouds above.<\/p>\n

If you want to guarantee clouds, all you have to do is arrange an astronomy event<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ones begins to talk us through individual stars, using a green laser pen that he appears to shoot across the galaxy. He introduces \u201cRigel the blue supergiant\u201d, the brightest star in the constellation Orion. The green lance then moves north-west to point out Betelgeuse, an ancient star on its way to supernova and also part of Orion. Jones begins to stretch our level of comprehension by explaining that the star may already be dead \u2013 it\u2019s so distant from Earth (642.5 light years) that it could have exploded before Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492, and the light from that violent event still wouldn\u2019t have reached us yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With our eyes already helpfully dilated like Ibizan clubbers, the stars \u2013 little and otherwise \u2013 twinkle-twinkle above<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As human settlements have grown larger and brighter, so certain species have found it harder to orient themselves. This affectsmigratory birds and, more problematically, insects, vital pollinators and the basis of many food chains. Unlike other forms of pollution, which would take years to clean out of the environment, light is one of the easiest to fix. \u201cYou just have to switch off and that\u2019s it,\u201d she says. \u201cAll done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
