Hey, anyone catch tonight's episode of the Simpsons tonight? Kind of a
mixed bag on the Light Pollution front, but it certainly raised the issue
for discussion. ( Bob and Tom in CA, if you don't want the plot spoiled,
stop reading here, but tape it!)
Lisa discovers astronomy and all her sky views are ruined by LP, so she
starts a petition and gets the lights shut off and the sky reappears. Then
the bad thing, since it's dark all the bad kids steal hood ornaments (even
though in a totally dark environment, their flashlights would have stood
out.) So the town turns all the lights up to "Permanoon". No one can sleep
and all the animals and humans go nutso from lack of sleep. Finally, Lisa,
with Bart's help overloads the power plant, blowing out all the lights in
town, just in time for the Deadly Meteor Shower (named after it's
discoverer, Artemus Deadly :->) And it was capped off with a (moderately
realistic... poor representation of radiant, but probably 36,000 ZHR)
meteor shower. For Tom and Bob on the left coast, you might want to tape
this for fun and future discussion :-)
