About this listen
Every year night skies get 10% brighter. Light pollution is erasing the stars.
In Nightfaring, travel writer and ‘dark sky’ advocate Megan Eaves travels the world to better understand our deep connection with the night sky and what we stand to lose when we lose darkness. She explores the environmental consequences of light pollution, which is disrupting the migration patterns of birds as well as our own circadian rhythms. But she’s also interested in the many ways that we have depended on darkness culturally and historically: how indigenous communities like the Maoris in New Zealand have navigated by the stars, and the inspiration that starry skies have provided to artists from Van Gogh to Taylor Swift.
Blending travel writing with history, Nightfaring is a profound and often startling exploration of darkness and the endangered night.
