In the beginning...

Four hundred years ago, Galileo observed the night sky through a telescope.  Based on new evidence he realized the old model no longer worked. People had to change their way of thinking about their place in the cosmos.  

In December 2008, student teams from 14 PHM schools met at the PHM Planetarium to launch
 Let There Be Night, which asserts the old model of lighting up the night no longer works. We have to change our way of thinking about outdoor lighting.  The next 400 years begin now.

This blog is available to share ideas about the project and to communicate with each other.  We're underway.  

The next meeting of the Student Leadership Team is Saturday, January 10, 2009, 9:00-10:30 a.m., in the PHM Planetarium.
