Most people have never seen the Milky Way. Not because it's gone but because we've hidden it. #InternationalDarkSkyWeek #DarkSkies

Today kicks off #InternationalDarkSkyWeek and now that I have last week in the rear view mirror, I'm planning on a few very dark nights later this week in the desert with the Milky Way and a Comet! @banditelli.org did you hear that, a COMET!!!

In the Dark Robin Fulton Macpherson God said: Let the dark be dark. Let the stars shine properly. And let darkness with no stars heal the damage caused by light. Men said: Let there be light all night through, where there is no-one much or no-one at all, let the gathered haze from street-lamps, undying brand-names, full-blaze unpopulated windows stain the undersides of clouds even when nights are cloudless. God said: Light itself needs rest. Some things are best seen, unseen, in darkness unhindered by Great Light. Me, for example.
God said: Let the dark be dark.
Let the stars shine properly.
And let darkness with no stars
heal the damage caused by light…
—Robin Fulton Macpherson, “In the Dark”
Today, 13 April, is the start of #InternationalDarkSkyWeek

Who needs the dark? Pollinators do!
As you plan your garden this spring, add some night-blooming plants for nighttime pollinators. #darksky #whoneedsthedark

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

Why not step outside and experience the beauty of our night sky later this evening?
Keep the lights low... nature will thank you for it.

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 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!

Breathtaking Hubble Space Telescope image of Mystic Mountain in the Carina Nebula. Energetic starlight erodes towering dust pillars, showcasing a cosmic battle between stars and dust. This three-light-year-wide region, 7,500 light-years away, reveals the dynamic processes of star formation and the ephemeral nature of these celestial structures. Processed by David Forteza.

It's #InternationalDarkSkyWeek, a time when we can bring awareness to #LightPollution and work to bring dark skies back to the world.
Thanks to @ExaminerMedia for bringing attention to this important issue and running this article I did earlier this year:
