"I’m a proud Yorta Yorta and Barapa Barapa man, an Indigenous astronomer and a
trainee ecologist.
When I look at the night sky, I don’t just see stars. Instead, I see an ancient
knowledge system that has guided people, culture and Country for tens of
thousands of years.
But that knowledge is now at risk. In many of our towns and cities, the stars
are increasingly hidden behind a haze of artificial light. And that light
pollution is threatening a unique way of understanding the world."
