SKYGLOW is an ongoing crowdfunded project exploring light pollution and its impact on cities, as well as North America's endangered dark-sky locations. It is produced by photographers/filmmakers Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinović, in association with the International Dark-Sky Association.
The Kickstarter fundraising campaign generated significant publicity[1] and ended on May 9, 2015 as the fourth most successful project in the Photobooks category.[2]
SKYGLOW was featured on Season 6 of the Discovery Science show Outrageous Acts of Science.[3]
On December 5, 2015, Heffernan and Mehmedinović gave a sold out talk about SKYGLOW at The Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, and previewed photos and video from their journeys.[4]
