A partir del 19 de octubre de 2024, entra en vigor en Chile la Nueva Norma Lumínica. Desde este día, en todo el territorio nacional, comienzan las restricciones en el horario de funcionamiento de las #luminarias publicitarias, ornamentales, deportivas e industriales.
Surrounding the Gemini North telescope are three natural light phenomena that can only be seen in the darkest of skies. These dark skies surround this half of the International @GeminiObs, supported in part by @NSF and operated by @NSF@NOIRLabAstro. noirlab.edu/public/images/…
El 20 de abril se celebra el 17º aniversario de la Declaración Starlight, un documento que aboga por la defensa del cielo nocturno como un recurso natural y cultural, promoviendo la protección del mismo frente a la contaminación lumínica. Para saber más 👉 bit.ly/3JtF5RW

Today, April 8, 2024, the last total solar #eclipse until 2045 crossed North America.
There it is! The total solar eclipse captured by our Space4 Center team, led by Lunar and Planetary Laboratory professor Vishnu Reddy and designated campus colleague Dr. Lucille Le Corre. They are working under the path of totality in Fredericksburg, Texas today #solareclipse2024
🌘 Such a great Eclipse Day! 🌒 Check out these photos from our event at @KittPeakNatObs during the partial eclipse. The sky put on a show for us today ✨
