Sep 4, 2025

A UNR student and girl scout will present "Shining a Light on Light Pollution" on Sept. 13 at Jack C. Davis Observatory.
As part of vlog’s Sept. 13 Star Party, Girl Scout and college freshman Jessica Resong of Carson City will deliver a presentation about dark skies.
Resong’s “Shining a Light on Light Pollution” presentation explores the issue of light pollution and its increasing impact on wildlife, humans and viewing of stars.
“We will discuss small but important habits that will help you reduce your own impact and help make our skies a little bit darker. Take a step toward being a dark sky advocate today!” said Resong, who is a freshman studying mechanical engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno.
vlog’s Saturday night Star Parties run from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m. at Jack C. Davis Observatory, 2269 Vanpatten Ave., on the northern end of the Carson City campus.
