#BringBackTheNight
International #DarkSkyWeek (April 21-28, 2025) is a global celebration of the night.... with the rapid rise of #lightpollution, we risk losing the natural night we depend on. The time to act is now!

Had a brief visit from Aurora Borealis during my camping trip at Lake Superior Provincial Park during Dark Sky Week.

Help reclaim our night skies.
Some few jurisdictions have bylaws about how outdoor lighting can be done.
UPDATE EDIT: The info in the link is WORTHWHILE - great tips about lighting, etc.. But, I posted this back in April, during Dark Sky Week (Apr 2-8/2024). I noticed people are suddenly sharing this, so --- just so you know. :)

What can we say, we've got a pretty great view!

...which is probably not a surprise. Rubin Observatory's site in Chile was chosen in large part because of dark skies 🌌

As #DarkSkyWeek kicks off, we're looking up! Turn down your lights and celebrate the dark with us✨ #IDSW2024

#DYK light pollution is increasing rapidly - with the majority of people now living under a light-polluted sky?

Light pollution can:
🐾Disrupt wildlife
💊Impact human health
🔋Waste energy & money
🌡Contribute to #ClimateChange

Apparently there is dark sky week. So I made this.

🦉 “So give a hoot,
don’t light pollute!”
