Reclaiming a right to dark skies

If you look up at night in the city, chances are you can count the visible stars on your fingers and toes. Urban lighting has drowned out our view of the stars and the milky way, causing a disconnect between urban-dwelling humans and the night sky. In this episode we discuss this disconnect and the design solutions cities are implementing to reconnect us with the universe. To get there we start in the Australian desert where stars stretch from one flat horizon to the other streaked by the white mist of the milky way. This is the home of the dark emu which lives in the sky and gives us a valuable example of how connection to the stars can deliver knowledge and new ways of thinking. Jessie Ferrari is an Indigenous person of the Yorta Yorta people, pursuing Ecology at the University of Melbourne.
