The Night sky in the small, rural Virginia community I call home is a big deal, but I didn't realize how big until our local schools considered installing stadium lighting for nighttime sports. The controveray that erupted surprised me. I thought there'd be arguments about the cost intense debate to revolve around the potential Light pollution of our famously dark skor. When the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors heard public comments on the issue, eight residents spoke in favor of the light. Nine spoke again studi. Readers of the local newspaper also weighed in.
