International DarkSky Week

International Dark Sky Week is a worldwide celebration of the night.

From the darkness needed for a good night’s sleep to the activities we enjoy under the stars, the night plays a vital role in safeguarding healthy ecosystems and wildlife biodiversity, enhancing science and exploration, preserving cultural knowledge, and so much more.

With artificial light at night increasing, dark skies are quickly fading worldwide—diminishing our view of the stars and changing our relationship to the night.

We invite you to join us as we discover the night together and actions we can take to protect dark skies.
