Bob Mizon is UK co-ordinator of the British Astronomical Association's Campaign for Dark Skies, which aims to turn back the tide of light pollution which has seriously affected our view of the stars over the last fifty years, and also addresses the related problems of light trespass and energy waste. Bob has taught astronomy to students of all ages since 1971. Since 1996, he has provided a full-time mobile planetarium service to south central England, and has taken the experience of the night sky to nearly 80,000 people, mostly schoolchildren.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1985, and has been associated with the Wessex Astronomical Society in various offices for many years.
He is an active observer of the night sky, and lectures to societies and groups all over the country. He also writes for the astronomical press, and translates books on astronomy and meteorology from French to English. Bob is author of Light Pollution: Responses and Remedies (Springer, 2001 Nov; ISBN 1-85233-497-5). |
