The ominous International Dark Sky Week is anything but. There will be no four horsemen coming down to destroy civilization, at least I hope not, plus that’s already happening with Covid. Instead, we have a week where the earth nurtures in the darkness of a new moon and makes the most spectacular stargazing possible.
via the Good News Network:
International Dark Sky Week was launched in 2003 by, appropriately enough, the International Dark Sky Association – a non-profit organization based in Arizona, to work to “preserve and preserve the night sky and our heritage of dark skies. protected by quality outdoor lights. “
But what if you’re in an area where abundant city light blocks the meteor you want to do? The International Dark Sky Association has an interactive map with special ‘dark sky’ designations for places around the world. Check out this interactive map to see where there is a dark sky world near you. Other benefits of the new moon are werewolf-free environments and usually fewer vampires.
