Citizen Science Dark Sky Measurements
December 21, 2022 - December 24, 2022
The new moon is the best time to stargaze. It’s also the best time to take star measurements and enjoy the wonderful Milky Way.
Citizen Science lets YOU help observe and collect data regarding our beautiful dark night sky in Mineral County, CO. This data will support ongoing light pollution research and Headwaters Alliance’s ongoing application to establish a Dark Sky Reserve in Mineral County through the International Dark Sky Association.
To help, download the Loss of the Night app on your phone (iPhone or Android). Follow the directions to determine the relative sky quality wherever you are. Do it at home, at your favorite campsite or even downtown. All measurements are helpful.
