SELENE is proud to support Attilla Danko and his Clear Sky Clock project. We have chosen to sponsor New York clocks to show our support, as well as to help raise awareness of our cause.

SELENE is a grassroots group seeking to bring better nighttime lighting practices to New York State in order to eliminate glare, light trespass, and sky glow as illustrated by the photo to the left.

Our mission statement:

Light pollution is rapidly degrading the sky's quiet majesty and our nighttime environment. Excessive and misdirected outdoor illumination wastes precious energy, resources, and dollars; it increases power plant-generated air pollution, causes glare that blinds drivers and pedestrians, intrudes onto our property, and invades our privacy.

Please explore our site to see how you can use better lighting and reduce light pollution. We recommend you check out these specific pages:

• Our gallery of good and bad lighting.
• Our "Help Me" page, detailing ways to handle light trespass problems.
• Our resources page
• Our home page, on which we list lighting-related news, links, and information.

Perhaps you'll also consider sharing your experience with good and bad nighttime lighting in our forums or through our email list, the Sensible Lighting List.
