He recently completed a case study of an LED streetlight retrofit in Pepperell, MA, whereby following dark-sky lighting best practices, he measured what effect, if any, there was on the night sky. The results have significant implications for how we approach future lighting installations as the Westford area develops. Tim Brothers is the Observatory Manager at MIT’s Wallace Astrophysical Observatory (Westford, MA) and a Technical Instructor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. He also co-founded the Massachusetts chapter of Dark Sky International, where he is primarily focused on outdoor lighting policy in the region.

Staff Recommends: Sophia Kinsella’s new novel, What Does it Feel Like?, has a very different feel from her usual light and comical stories. It mirrors health struggles that the author is going through in her own life. "Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumor growing in her brain. As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again-and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children-she begins to recall what's most important to her: long walks with her husband's hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights, and always buying that dress when she sees it. Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief."
