Senate Republicans vote to lift mining ban near Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Congressional Republicans are sending President Donald Trump a resolution for his signature that would lift a federal ban on mining near Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Senate passed the resolution Thursday. The House approved it on Jan. 21. The push to end the ban comes as a Chilean mining company is looking to open a copper mine in the Superior National Forest on the edge of the wilderness area. Conservationists insist mining would contaminate the pristine watershed. President Joe Biden's administration blocked the project in 2023 by imposing a 20-year moratorium on mining across 400 square miles (103,600 hectares) in the forest.
DoomsdaysCWLosing the Dark - Flat Screen Version
"Starry skies are a vanishing treasure because light pollution is washing away our view of the cosmos. It not only threatens astronomy, it disrupts wildlife, and affects human health. The yellow glows over cities and towns — seen so clearly from space — are testament to the billions spent in wasted energy from lighting up the sky.
"To help raise public awareness of some of the issues pertaining to light pollution, Loch Ness Productions in collaboration with the International #DarkSky Association has created a 6.5-minute 'public service announcement' called Losing the Dark. It introduces and illustrates some of the issues regarding #LightPollution, and suggests three simple actions people can take to help mitigate it.
"Losing the Dark was initially created in fulldome video format for digital planetarium use. It also has been made as a conventional flat screen video, for use in classrooms, kiosks, museum theaters, and advocate multimedia presentations. Classic #planetarium theaters without fulldome capability can show this version using their traditional video projectors."

Into the Night: International Dark Sky Week Begins
International Dark Sky Week begins as advocates urge a return to darker nights. As light pollution grows, the observance highlights ecological harm, threatened species, and even the spiritual loss of the stars that once shaped human ritual, story, and connection.

Daniel Scher 📷It’s International Dark Sky Week (April 13-20, 2026), an annual event held each April during the week of the new moon to celebrate the wonder and importance of the night and raise awareness about the harmful effects of #LightPollution
From the darkness that supports critical wildlife ecosystems to the star-filled skies we enjoy, the night is filled with wonder and importance.
This year’s theme invites people to discover the night by making an active choice: to “go dark” and experience natural darkness firsthand.
