Princeton Weighs Dark-Sky Rules as Astrophysicist Warns Night Views Are Mostly Lost
Gáspár Bakos moved to Princeton back in 2011 partly for its dark skies, but the astrophysicist now says those skies are mostly lost. Bakos has spent years measuring the town's growing light pollution problem, and his findings landed in front of the Princeton Council on Monday, November 9, as the town's Environmental Commission pushed officials to finally update a lighting ordinance that has sat largely untouched since 1997.
