Kouchibouguac: River of Long Tides
Kouchibouguac National Park in New Brunswick protects a mosaic of barrier islands, dunes, and salt marshes. Beyond its gentle coast, the park is a designated Dark-Sky Preserve. With minimal light pollution, it offers breathtaking views of the Milky Way and celestial events, making it a sanctuary for both coastal wildlife and stargazers alike. #Canada #Kouchibouguac #NewBrunswick #DarkSky 🇨🇦

💁🏻♀️ TIL: #BryceCanyon in #Utah isn’t actually a #canyon – it’s a series of natural amphitheaters holding the world’s largest collection of #hoodoos, rock spires up to 60m tall that began forming 50 million years ago. 🏜️
The #park sits at 2,400m elevation, hosts #endangered species like the Utah #prairiedog and #California #condor, and became an International Dark Sky Park in 2019. 🌌

@sundogplanets Thought you'd like a good news sky story.
"Over 80 people celebrated the launch of the ecovillage’s new smart, dark sky lighting system that sets a precedent for community lighting nationwide. With special downlit poles and bollards, dimmable warm coloured LEDs and limited light-up hours, the system minimises artificial light pollution and disturbance to nocturnal creatures, like bats and moths."
