“Star Trails Over Black Point Ruins at Scarborough State Beach,” by Ang Cai, Ph.D. ’17.

Cai is a research assistant professor in URI’s College of Pharmacy and the RI-INBRE research core facility director. Cai notes that “capturing clean star trails has become significantly harder in recent years due to the increasing number of planes and satellites. These create bright streaks in long-exposure photos—a new form of light pollution. To mitigate this, photographers have to shoot during darker hours, often very late at night when air traffic decreases and sunlight reflections on satellites are reduced.”
