Dark Sky Week & Globe at Night

Terrace Bay is fortunate to have naturally dark skies, offering a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the night sky.

This April, we invite residents to take part in two global initiatives that celebrate and protect our night environment:

  • Globe at Night (April 9–18)
  • Dark Sky Week (April 13–20)


What is Globe at Night?

Globe at Night is a worldwide citizen science campaign that invites people to measure light pollution by observing the night sky and submitting their findings.

It takes just 10 minutes to participate, and your observations contribute to real scientific research.

🔗 globeatnight.org
🔗 app.globeatnight.org


How to Participate

  • Go outside at night (8–10 pm, at least 1 hour after sunset)
  • Allow your eyes to adjust to the dark (~10 minutes)
  • Locate a constellation using a sky app
  • Compare what you see to the Globe at Night star charts
  • Submit your observation online


Why it Matters

Protecting dark skies supports:

  • Environmental health
  • Energy conservation
  • Wildlife protection
  • Human well-being
  • Tourism and community identity
