&amp;#8220;According to the U.S. Parks Association, by the year 2020 only 10% of  the U.S. will have a view of the night sky. Jon Morris, the creative  director and founder of The Windmill Factory is attempting to illuminate  the issue of light pollution with a new installation (Reflecting the Stars) on Pier 49 in the Hudson River.  He and his team have installed 201 solar powered LED lights on decaying wooden pillars in the water. People on the pier will  be able to control the lights from a series of buttons that will reveal  constellation from the night sky. The installation is on view from  sunset till midnight until October 25th. Weekly onsite stargazing events  with astronomers have been planned.&amp;#8221;
