Michael Marlin is a dark sky ambassador for the International Astronomical Union and the International Dark Sky Association. His passion for dark sky preservation goes back to the 1980s when he produced the LUMA light show theatrical performances. He also gave a truly inspiring TEDx talk called “Embracing Darkness”.
In addition to his stories of running away with the circus, traveling the world with his juggling act, inventing a toy, and living in a treehouse in the jungle, Marlin is also the recent author of the book Astrotourism: Star Gazers, Eclipse Chasers, and the Dark Sky Movement.
