@joeferguson.bsky.socialMore than half of the speakers tonight are talking about #ProjectGravel directly or the noise that are created by data centers.
The next speaker is concerned about lighting for data centers, concerned that the always on lights will pollute Pima County's #DarkSkies.

@ashedarksky.orgWhy does leaving the city make the stars explode into view?
Light pollution follows a steep exponential curve. Moving from suburban Bortle 5 to pristine Bortle 1 cuts skyglow by 95%! In Bortle 1, the Milky Way is so thick it casts shadows.

@darkskytexas.bsky.socialBorder security and dark skies do not have to compete.
With smarter lighting design, Texas can protect the border and one of its greatest natural resources.

@darkskytexas.bsky.socialProtecting dark skies benefits more than the stars. ✨
They support wildlife, reduce energy waste, encourage astrotourism, and create opportunities for local communities. When we protect the night, everyone benefits.

@darkskytexas.bsky.socialEvery dark sky movement starts somewhere.
A conversation between neighbors, a shared idea, or one small action can grow into lasting change. Together, communities across Texas can help protect the night.
@darkskytexas.bsky.socialYou don't need to be an astronomer to protect the night sky.
All it takes is curiosity. Step outside, look up, ask questions, and experience the stars for yourself. The more we connect with the night, the more we understand why it's worth protecting.
@melissasevigny.bsky.socialSuch a startling contrast in night lighting due to LEDs. And it's such an easily solved problem with a shift to amber and shielded fixtures. Story in @nautil.us #darkskies #scicomm nautil.us/astronaut-ph...

@rmuldrake.bsky.socialDid anyone watch #DarkSkies i really enjoyed it at the time.
@piratebill.bsky.socialChecked my local area chat room, one Woman is upset that the street light at the highway turnoff isn't bright enough to suit Her ,odd after we survived without a light forever before, its a #darkskies community here with many astronomers in the area so every light is designed not to shine overhead
@lighthousekeeperscottage.co.ukIt's the equinox - and so the longer nights are upon us. This stunning photo by @davidproudfoot shows the Milky Way streaming above the Lighthouse. It amuses me you can see exactly which rooms we were in at the time!
@mysteriousmrc81.bsky.socialDeath Valley - desolate, barren and beautiful, the darkest sky in America bursts into life after dark ❤️

@uapdrop.bsky.socialDark Skies creators publish a handwritten 'Sound, Light & Frequency' formula allegedly from ONI, tying it to chakras, consciousness, and remote viewing—calling researchers to independently analyze its history and claims. #DarkSkies #ONI #UAP

@andrewjfrizzell.bsky.socialThis picture doesn’t come close to the reality (I was struggling to keep Baloo under control whilst taking the picture with my phone [hand held]). The night sky was stunning tonight. Another good reason to live round here. #DarkSkies multiply by 1000’s to get the reality. #BrightAndVivid.
