Description: The Actual Astronomy Podcast Presents Light Pollution with special guest Rick Huziak. In this episode we have a conversation with our long time friend, astronomer and light pollution abatement activist Rick Huziak. Rick embodies the spirit of amatuer astronomy, he has built his own telescopes, submitted over 180,000 variable star observations to the AAVSO and is a meteorite collector who appeared on such shows as Meteorite Hunters. Rick worked on the ground as the lead astronomer in the declaration of Grasslands National Park Dark Sky preserve. In 2004 – International Astronomical Union named main-belt asteroid 4143 Huziak after him. He has won many major awards for his work from the AAVSO and the RASC but today he will talk to us about what we can all do to reduce light pollution.
Bio: Shane and Chris are amateur astronomers who enjoy teaching astronomy classes and performing outreach where they help the eyes of the public to telescope eyepieces.
