Every year, the International Dark-Sky Association hosts International Dark Sky Week during the month of April to raise awareness about the negative effects of light pollution, the solutions that exist, and celebrate the night.

​

In honor of International Dark Sky Week, IDA maintains a website (idsw.darksky.org). This website provides an overview of light pollution and provides some ways that people can take action in their own communities. It also acts as a home base for the events (both virtual and in-person) being hosted all over the world by Advocates, International Dark Sky Places, other organizations, and individuals. Take a night walk, learn about astrophotography, why wildlife needs the dark, or attend a star party.

 

Learn more and find a list of events at idsw.darksky.org, or follow along on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Let’s discover the night.
