How Will You Celebrate International Dark Sky Week?

International Dark Sky Week, celebrated from April 21-28, invites individuals worldwide to appreciate the wonders of the night sky and emphasizes the need to protect natural darkness. Spearheaded by DarkSky International, the event highlights efforts to combat light pollution, particularly in Norwood, Colorado, the first community on the Western Slope designated as an International Dark Sky Community. Dr. Bob Grossman, president of the Western Slope Dark Sky Coalition, played a pivotal role in securing this status for Norwood, which faces threats to its dark sky classification due to nearby light sources. With initiatives to promote responsible lighting and ongoing efforts to establish San Miguel County as the first Dark Sky Reserve in the nation, advocates stress the importance of dark skies for both ecological health and human well-being. As light pollution affects over 80% of the global population, the coalition encourages communities to adopt smarter lighting practices to preserve the night sky for future generations.
