Utah Dark Skies

The night sky is a thing of beauty. It connects us to the universe. Since the beginning of humankind, the night sky has evoked awe and reverence. Poets, philosophers, and scientists have all been inspired by its majestic grandeur.

So it's disheartening that in many places in the world, people are no longer able to actually see the night sky. Because of encroaching light pollution, entire regions have become so saturated with light that it completely overwhelms the enchantment of the night sky.

The good news is that there are a number of ways to mitigate light pollution. Turn off your lights if you don't need them, or use a light timer. Use shielded lights that shine down and not out.
