Travis Longcore for KMVT — Light Pollution Monitoring in Central Idaho

KMVT explores how Adjunct Professor Travis Longcore and his students are helping preserve the night sky by monitoring light pollution in Central Idaho. “So, the first student group, because of our regulations, I couldn’t formally send them, and they decided as a group that what they wanted to do with their spring break was take a trip to Idaho. It was not an official excursion because they decided to do it on their own, but I did loan them my equipment,” said Longcore.
