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.
