…want to share the DarkSky International website: https://darksky.org/

The site has information on how to preserve Dark Skys by societal (and individual) choices which favour Nocturnal Conservation, as well as having a list of Dark Sky sites which you can visit and enjoy.

Left this out of the original already a bit long post as had no idea that so many people would find this resonated with their own experiences.

Always remember the hoary mariner’s aphorism: “Dark Starlit Skies at Night, Sailors Delight” (or *something* along those lines?

Thanks

Here’s a pix from one of the most famous Dark Sky sites. The Atacama desert with some of the 66 non-dark dependent international ALMA radio telescopes as foreground

ALMA’s site is: https://www.almaobservatory.org/en/home/
