July 9, 2017 – Report by TV9 Grosseto on palla a 21

This happened in the context of our memorial initiatives for the tenth anniversary of our mission to Chicago, Illinois.

The report was first aired on July 9, 2017, in the “Sport Café” show by TV9 in, presenting a training session by players from Torniella, Piloni, and Scalvaia, as well as details on the construction of the ball. The report was then repeated on July 10 and 11 luglio.

Nuovo Orione #300 (May 2017): Let’s measure the darkness of the night with BuioMetria Partecipativa

Three pages written just after the September 2016 Artificial Light at Night conference for Nuovo Orione, one of the two reference magazines for amateur astronomers. The article was eventually published just in May, and some of the presented issues have been developed, but the article still has its points of interest.

This article makes a good pair with the other one I published on “the January issue of Le Stelle”. The latter was actually written after the article published in May, and it approaches the issue of light pollution from a slightly different angle.
