NATIONAL DARK SKY NIGHTS

Everyone needs a star slathered sky!

Let’s celebrate dark skies every month on the nights surrounding the new moon. Wear your OFFICIAL DARK SKY RIBBON. Many calendars show each month’s new moon. Each month’s celebration will. . .

• Provoke a DARK SKY REVOLUTION!
• Magnify dark sky awareness.
• Launch positive action, leading to a local lightscape.
• Promote stargazing, a free, family activity.

TEACHERS AND STUDENTS: Here’s a perfect project for your community. Create a family night under the stars during the monthly new moon. Imagine the impact on the community’s nighttime lighting if every student in your school became an active participant in an effort to save startlight!

Publish a public observing schedule in your local newspaper, encourage people outside under the stars every month. Start a Dark Sky Revolution!

In 1999 the Bald Eagle (America’s symbol) was liberated from the Endangered Species List, from the brink of extinction! Now the stellar eagle--Aquila--is on the brink of celestial extinction!

’Tis time for YOU to step forward, launch a DARK SKY REVOLUTION in your community, and save Aquila from wasteful light!
