I've wanted to visit one of the Dark Sky approved locations for a while now. It's weird to realize that most of us have never seen a truly dark night sky. It's a waning resource.
Our ancestors built entire systems of navigation and beliefs based on it. Our view is a fraction of what they were able to observe with their naked eyes. It feels like viewing an unobstructed sky would be an important experience to have, so I'm thankful organizations like this exist.
