Geneva goes dark

The World

 Geneva, Switzerland, will shut off all its street lights on Thursday night to give residents an unpolluted view of the night sky. Host Marco Werman speaks with Eric Achkar, president of the Geneva Astronomy Society, for the details. We end with a tune from “Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark.”
