Night Skies

For millennia, humans have looked up at the night sky with wonder. The stars that guided ancient navigators still shine above us, though light pollution now hides them from most of the world's population.

Dark sky preserves offer glimpses of what our ancestors saw every night—the Milky Way arching overhead, planets wandering among the stars, and meteor showers streaking across the heavens.

The universe reminds us of our cosmic context, a pale blue dot in an incomprehensibly vast expanse of space and time.
