Dr. Heather Warfield talks with people about their pilgrimage journeys, people impacted by pilgrimage sites, and scholars who research the pilgrimage phenomenon.
In this episode, I talk with Marlin about his 2021 book "Astrotourism: Star Gazers, Eclipse Chasers, and the Dark Sky Movement." We delve into the meaning of dark sky and the importance of spending time in places with little to no light pollution. We also discuss Marlin's varied experiences related to celestial events and the awe that results from them.
