CANCELLED – Ethical Night Rangers: ‘Mapping Manhattan: The Light and Dark of it All’

Notice: Due to an unforseen conflict, this session of Ethical Night Rangers has been cancelled. Join us on May 23 for a trip to the Hayden Planetarium!

***

At our fifth Night Rangers gathering we’ll discover New York City through a new lens. Working in teams with light meters, we will gather data about Manhattan. Where is the best place to see stars within the borough?

About Ethical Night Rangers

Do you miss seeing stars over New York City? Join the Night Rangers—a program bringing together families, students, seniors, and everyone in between who are dedicated to understanding and reducing light pollution. This isn’t just about science; it’s about ethical action, shared curiosity, and making our city healthier for people and wildlife.

All ages and backgrounds are welcome—no ranger is too young or too old.
