In the Pursuit of Darkness
Curiosity Inspired by the Stars
Benjamin Velani is from Minneapolis and is a senior at Cornell University. Through the Humanities Scholar Program, he researches how to minimize light pollution’s disruption of the rhythms and ecology of the natural world and human experiences with a dark night sky.
As a summer research fellow at Fallen Tree for a Resilient Future, he studied the impact of artificial light at night on urban environments, human health, and how to reduce light pollution at home and within a community.
He also uses astrophotography to document the artificial brightening of the night sky.
