Coralville's 5 Acre Light Bulb !!
Imagine a 5 acre 200 foot high, 20 story translucent sem-cylindrical
light bulb housing a rain forest - in Iowa. In Coralville, Iowa to be precise. What will this do for light pollution? Coralville politicians and business backers say: "it's not relevant". The Iowa's Child Project - Indoor Rainforest. Cost: $280 million w. $50mil just allocated by Congress in the recent energy bill, with support from Senators Harkin, Grassley, and Leach. It's a done deal and part of our lives. No Astronomer Left Behind. Ben |

Coralville's 5 Acre Light Bulb !!
At one place where I lived in Hawaii, the Waianae Valley, there was a place that
had a 50ft pole and they have a 2000watt bulb with NO Shielding at all and at night it lights up the whole valley area. I had dreams of using an M109 on it some night to return darkness to the valley. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn. But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go again." Arthur C.
