“Losing the Dark” – flat screen
To help raise public awareness of some of the issues pertaining to light pollution, Loch Ness Productions in collaboration with DarkSky has created Losing the Dark in fulldome video format for digital planetarium use, and as a conventional flat-screen video. It’s on YouTube, available for online viewing, sharing, and embedding on blogs and Web pages.
This page contains downloads in various video formats, so Losing the Dark can be used in classrooms, kiosks, museum theaters, and advocate multimedia presentations. Classic planetarium theaters without fulldome capability can show this version using their traditional video projectors.
Losing the Dark has no license fee and may be downloaded using the links on this page.
We have just a few requests:
- Please let us know you downloaded it, and where you will show it.
- Please show Losing the Dark unaltered, in its entirety.
- Please tell audiences how they can get more information about light pollution and how to combat it — by referring them to the DarkSky International website: darksky.org.
Losing the Dark is available in several popular video sizes, formats, and languages. Save the ZIP file to your computer (the usual right-click on the link and ‘Save As…’ routine). Unzip the download to extract the files for playback on your device.
