🌌 85% of people can’t see the Milky Way from where they live anymore 😔
Dark skies matter for wildlife & nature.
Good to see places like the @northyorkmoors.org.uk leading the way to protect them ✨

Think I saw that this weekend on Countryfile my friend. #DarkSkies areas and our night sky are both things that should not be polluted by light and the irrelevant & irrelevant misuse of them. Keep our night skies beautiful for all to see ⭐🌜

A vast, open landscape stretches across the frame, dominated by a massive, violently rotating tornado descending from a dense, layered storm system. The sky is nearly black at the top, transitioning into deep teal and gray tones as thick, rolling clouds spiral downward into a towering funnel. The tornado itself is wide and muscular, its base churning with dirt and debris that scatter outward across a flat, barren field. In the foreground, a narrow gravel or dirt path cuts diagonally through pale, wind-pressed grass, leading the eye toward the storm. A small, solitary figure stands near the path, dwarfed by the scale of the approaching vortex, their posture rigid as they face the oncoming force. Off to the right, a single leafless tree stands isolated against the horizon, bent slightly as if bracing against the wind. The lighting is dim and diffused, with a faint, sickly glow near the horizon line that contrasts against the heavy darkness above. The entire scene conveys overwhelming scale, tension, and the raw, indifferent power of nature.

Keywords:
tornado, supercell storm, dark clouds, rural landscape, lone figure, extreme weather, funnel cloud, open field, atmospheric tension, cinematic scale

Most outdoor lighting is brighter than needed.

Blue light scatters, disrupts sleep, and harms wildlife.

Amber reduces glare—and protects the stars.

Ask yourself: how often do those lights need to be on?

Back in Feb I had the pleasure of taking a group out whilst being filmed by the BBC. Tonight's episode of Countryfile featured myself for the first 15mins or so and I was behind the scenes for the telescope bits too. Hopefully it gets people to embrace the darkness of the night sky!

The aurora at Embleton Quarry Nature Reserve this morning. Lying on the pond dipping platform looking up at the stars is the most relaxing thing I've done in a long time ! Such a peaceful place, with lovely dark skies. ✨

Millions of birds fly through Texas each year, guided by the stars. Now, artificial light is causing confusion, collisions, and food scarcity.

Dark Skies (1996) International Cut Portrays Secret UAP Governance, Biologic Infiltration, and Cold War Fallout The international version of the 1996 television drama Dark Skies follows congressional aide John Loenard and his partner Kimberly as they are drawn into a clandestine program known as Majestic that operates alongside and above official U.S. channels. The narrative interweaves Project Blue Book, the Betty and Barney Hill case, Roswell-era artifacts, and a parasitic alien biology to examine secrecy, oversight, and biohazard ethics amid Cold War tensions.

Dark Skies (1996) international cut portrays Majestic as secret UAP governance, links Roswell artifacts, Project Blue Book, and parasitic alien biology to Cold War oversight and biohazard ethics. #DarkSkies #UAP #Bioethics #ColdWar

Dark skies fuel tourism across rural Texas.

Astrotourism brings visitors, hotel stays, and local spending. Excessive lighting puts that growing economy at risk.

Protecting dark skies means protecting local opportunity.

I went to rural Wales to bathe in starlight and the Milky Way blew me away I join two tourists in the mountains to immerse ourselves in the wonders of the night sky with a star guide.

Breathtaking views of the night sky.

An almost forgotten spectacle, for most.
