My name is Ngoc lan and I am a student at Cuyamaca college and I am doing a research paper on the light pollution of Mount Palomar and I would love your opinion. My email is VI637@yahoo.com
1) How do you feel about the light that cause the sky to bright up and interrupt astronomer research?
2} How does the light affect the research?
3}What is your opinion about SCE ( Southern California Edison)and SDGE (san diego gas and electric) about not agreeing to use low pressure sodium light?
Thank you for your reply

I like that word. I'll keep it in mind.
Now all I need is a conversation to use it in......
Ngoc, I am away now, but should be able to get you answers via email by mid week. I hope that's not too late for you.
CaptainCaustic, embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word.
