My First Article in Spanish
I am pleased to announce that my first article in Spanish has been published in the Chilean online journal Chile Astronómico (número 2, agosto 2023, pp. 38-41). The article is entitled “Protegiendo los cielos oscuros de Río Hurtado” (Protecting the dark skies of Río Hurtado) and deals with the problem of light pollution and how the small valley of Río Hurtado is trying to obtain certification as an international dark-sky community to protect its pristine skies. As Chile Astronómico relies on subscriptions, the article is only available to subscribers. If you are interested in the article, please drop me a note.
