24 minutes

In the second part of this three-part astronomy series, Faye welcomes back Donna Burton OAM, affectionately known as Donna the Astronomer. Donna shines a light on the growing problem of light pollution. She explains how excessive and misdirected lighting dims our view of the stars and disrupts the natural world around us. Donna shares simple, practical changes — warm, shielded lights used only when needed — that reduce glare, save energy, and restore the wonder of the night sky. With genuine care for both science and community, she encourages viewers to protect the night sky for the generations to come. This thoughtful conversation reminds us all to look up — and to care for what we find there. Conversations with Faye is a powerful program that brings heartfelt conversations inspiring healthier, happier lives. Changing lives one conversation at a time.
