Our conference on Light Pollution and its Impacts was brilliant ✨️🌌
For now, one final line from @marietaconstanza.bsky.social, policy and diversity officer at the RAS, who was instrumental in organising today's conference...

"We only have one night sky – and the beauty and magic of this sonnet of stars above us is at risk if we don't act now."

I had an excellent experience in Cape Town during the International Astronomical Union General Assembly 2024 ♥︎
I love my job and the opportunities I'm having, but above all, the people I've met and I work with in the astronomy and space fields and their trust and support ♥︎
