Light pollution, simply put, is any unnecessary or excessive outdoor
illumination. Sadly, it's become a pervasive and ugly consequence of
modern 24/7 society. Light pollution robs us of the night sky's
beauty, negatively affects the ecosystem, and creates an in-your-face
waste of energy. But a new mindset and new technology are poised to
slow — and perhaps reverse — this bane of modern life. Kelly Beatty
has been explaining the science and wonder of astronomy to the public
since 1974. An award-winning writer and communicator, he specializes
in planetary science and space exploration as Senior Editor for
Cambridge-based Sky &amp; Telescope magazine. Beatty enjoys sharing
his passion for astronomy with a wide spectrum of audiences, from
children to professional astronomers, and you'll occasionally hear his
interviews and guest commentaries on National Public Radio and The
Weather Channel. He served for a decade on the Board of Directors for
the International Dark-Sky Association.

Pharos of Chaos

Event Date as Display String: Sunday, November 24, 2019, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge URL: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/pharos-of-chaos-2019-11 Event Description: Wolf-Eckart Bühler was at work on a different film about the adventurous, seafaring Sterling Hayden (Der Havarist/The Shipwrecker) when he finally tracked down the man in person to make this frank, fascinating document. Bühler finds the semi-retired actor, war hero, occasional writer and itinerant sailor whiling away his days — frequently drunk or stoned — living on a barge in France. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to his character in Altman's "The Long Goodbye," the wild and weathered old man of the sea and out of time enjoys quoting his favorite literature and telling anecdotes until finally opening up about his alcoholism, his loneliness, his "creative impotency," and his deepest ...

HILR Intersession: Mollie Crawford-Volk: Velazquez' "Las Meninas" and its Modern Progeny

Event Date as Display String: Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 10:00am - 12:00pm Location: HILR, 34 Concord Avenue, Cambridge 02138 URL: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/harvard-events/events-calendar/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D141501611 Event Description: Diego Velazquez' magisterial late work, "Las Meninas," created in 1656 near the end of his life, is universally recognized now as one of the greatest paintings in the history of western culture. Its scale, technical virtuosity, complex subject, and inclusion of the only uncontested self-portrait of the Spanish artist we have contributed decisively to its special stature. But this stature has been enormously enhanced by the number and quality of responses to the painting made by important later artists, a phenomenon that continues up to the present. Very few, if any, paintings in western art have inspired such an illustrious progeny. UID: http://uid.trumba.com/event/141501611 ...
