Dr. John Barentine FRASTomorrow is Day 1 of the Light Pollution: Theory, Modeling and Measurement (LPTMM) 2026 meeting in Ensenada, Mexico. Sadly this time I won't be able to join the crew in person, but I'll be listening in from home via the series of tubes known as the Interwebz.
On Friday, I'm excited to (remotely) moderate a roundtable discussion, the anticipated outcome of which is a consensus that it's time to take meaningful next steps toward standardizing measurement methods, reporting and units in light pollution studies.
