International Dark Sky Week

Given the (usually) balmy weather in April during a week when moonlight won’t interfere, the International Dark Sky Association is encouraging everyone to step outside at night, look up, and enjoy the beauty of the sky. In some urban locales the effect of the coronavirus pandemic makes this even more apropos, since there has been a noticeable reduction of air pollutants being emitted, accompanied by a darkening of city lights as businesses shut down. While such impacts on Lyons are probably not that noticeable, the idea remains: Why not go outside anyway and take a look? You’ve been cooped up for weeks–what else have you got to do? Tell yourself now is the ideal time to learn some star names and identify a new constellation or two, just like you’ve always been promising yourself.
