Abstract
Have you ever seen the Milky Way? For most Americans, it is impossible to see the band of light from the galaxy outside their homes. To be able to experience the night sky as our ancestors did, we have to travel to places away from light pollution.
International Dark Sky Week, which is happening April 22-30, celebrates the night sky and offers everyone a chance to reflect on the lighting choices made around their home and in their community.
