Maybe you can spot a few stars and the Moon. However, if you can get away from the glare of city lights, a whole galaxy is on display. The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) works to protect nighttime environments from light pollution. The association encourages people to think about the types of lights they use and provides advice on how to keep the sky dark at night. The IDA has named several places around the world as dark sky areas.

  也许你能看到一些星星和月亮。然而,如果你能远离刺眼的城市灯光,整个银河会展现在你眼前。国际暗空协会(IDA)致力于保护夜间环境免受光污染。该协会鼓励人们思考所使用的灯光类型,并提供如何让夜空保持黑暗的建议。国际暗空协会已将世界各地的多个地方选定为暗空区域。
