Tāhuna Glenorchy International Dark Sky Sanctuary was the venue for Sunday night. A fantastic evening of toasted marshmallows, mulled wine and expert guided star gazing was enjoyed by 50 or so at the Headwaters. Rangi Takō completed the night and Otago's #InternationalDarkSkyWeek
Tonight is the final night of #InternationalDarkSkyWeek! 🔭

It’s #InternationalDarkSkyWeek, a celebration of the world’s darkest skies. Roughly 80 percent of North America has lost its view of the Milky Way, but #Maine is home to some of the darkest nights east of the Mississippi. Here’s how you can protect and enjoy them. 👇
In recognition of #InternationalDarkSkyWeek, we're sharing Roger Clark's breathtaking nightscapes. Scenes like this will only become more illusive if artificial nighttime light grows unchecked. Learn more from @darkskyintl.bsky.social

The dark night needn't be unfamiliar or frightening - it's filled with wonder and awe, and is critical to our planet's wellbeing.
#InternationalDarkSkyWeek invites us to discover how we can take action to reduce light pollution so all life can thrive 🌃
In this International Dark Sky Week, I reflect on why I started, not for chasing the perfect shot, but for the moments I get to feel this alive, this is your sign to chase the stars

April is #DarkSkyMonth in UT & it's #InternationalDarkSkyWeek. While there isn't a constellation named after mosquitoes per say, there is the Musca constellation, meaning "the fly" in Latin. Musca is most visible from the Southern Hemisphere. 🪰Swipe to see the constellation!

We are part of a global family of over 200 Dark Sky Places and 23 Dark Sky reserves working to protect the night.
Made an International Dark Sky Reserve in 2016, next year we will be celebrating 10 years of official dark skies status!
