Join us in celebrating Dark Sky Week from April 13–20, 2026! This special week is dedicated to protecting our night skies from light pollution and rediscovering the beauty of the stars above us.
During Dark Sky Week, communities, educators, astronomers, and sky-lovers around the world come together to:
Host stargazing events
Learn how to reduce light pollution
Share the wonder of the Milky Way and the night sky
Promote responsible outdoor lighting
Whether you’re attending a local astronomy event, turning off unnecessary lights at home, or simply stepping outside to look up, everyone can take part.
How you can participate:
• Turn off non-essential outdoor lights for a while each night
• Attend or organize a local stargazing event
• Share photos or stories of the night sky
• Encourage dark-sky friendly lighting in your community
Let’s work together to keep our skies dark, our stars visible, and our connection to the universe alive.
