SKYGLOW is an ongoing crowdfunded project exploring light pollution and its impact on cities, as well as North America's endangered dark-sky locations. It is produced by photographers/filmmakers Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinović, in association with the International Dark-Sky Association.

The Kickstarter fundraising campaign generated significant publicity[1] and ended on May 9, 2015 as the fourth most successful project in the Photobooks category.[2]

SKYGLOW was featured on Season 6 of the Discovery Science show Outrageous Acts of Science.[3]

On December 5, 2015, Heffernan and Mehmedinović gave a sold out talk about SKYGLOW at The Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, and previewed photos and video from their journeys.[4]

SKYGLOW photography and videos has been featured in numerous media outlets and popular culture, including a performance of The Rolling Stones' song Moonlight Mile[5] during their Zip Code Tour in 2015, Roger Waters at Desert Trip Indio, Cosmic Gate's music video for their single am2pm in 2016,[6] BBC Earth,[7] and the U.S. National Park Service as part of their official centennial celebration video.[8]
