International Dark Sky Week 2025 Scheduled for April 2–8

International Dark Sky Week in 2025 is scheduled for April 2–8, a period dedicated to raising awareness about the detrimental effects of light pollution and promoting the preservation of natural night skies. As the dark-sky movement gains momentum, advocates are urging cities to adopt measures to reduce artificial lighting, particularly the harsh blue-rich light from LED streetlights, which disrupts ecosystems, impacts human health, and compromises stargazing opportunities. Concern is also emerging in regions like Chile, where astronomers fear that plans for a nearby chemical plant may threaten some of the world’s clearest skies. Various petitions on platforms like Change.org call for community action to implement dark sky ordinances, replace aggressive street lighting, and promote sustainable lighting practices.
