SUMMARY:CANCELLED - What We Can Do About Light Pollution
DESCRIPTION:with James Lowenthal\, Professor of Astronomy at Smith College and active in the International Dark-Sky Association\nWednesday\, November 8\, 7pm- 8:30pm\nFREE\, Registration appreciated\n \nYou may have seen images of Earth’s continents at night with metropolitan areas glowing from all our lights! James will lead a discussion of the current impacts that our use of lighting is having both on our own health and on the animals and plants that share the planet with us. Not only are these lights bad for nature but they are bad for us\, too. James will describe work he and others are doing to reduce unnecessary light and offer opportunities for you to get involved in helping make progress around this important issue. Weather permitting we’ll also spend some time star-gazing!

SUMMARY:Community Gallery Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:Amherst au Naturale: Up Close and Personal\nA Photo Show by Alan Hurwitz at the Hitchcock Center Living Building\nOpening Events:\nWednesday\, November 8th at 5pm and Saturday\, November 11th at 11am\nThis photo exhibit is designed to show some special aspects of our local natural world. All are\nof subjects found right here in Amherst – many captured on the Station Road property of the\nphotographer\, Alan Hurwitz. \nThey are special: by showing aspects of nature we may miss if not paying close attention; as\nbeautiful photographs in themselves; and by many depicting interesting aspects of nature from\nwhich we can learn\, or which will inspire interesting conversations. We can help with that.\nMany are macro images of insects\, some of our fellow mammals\, or birds or reptiles\, common\nor otherwise – most views of them that we don't see all the time. Others are of flowers\, close-\nup or as part of larger scenes. A few show the larger natural context of this scenic area. \nA central purpose of this exhibit\, like the Hitchcock Center itself\, is to inspire educate\, or\nperhaps provoke\, members of the Hitchcock Center and general Amherst communities\, to\ndeepen our awareness of aspects of nature that we may pass unnoticed every day – not paying\nthe attention that these wonderful examples of the wisdom of nature deserve.
