Our Mission
To reconnect people to the awe and wonder of a starlit sky
To nurture and celebrate the dark-sky ethos of Flagstaff and Northern Arizona
To educate and advocate for the restoration of starlit skies in other communities, using Flagstaff as a model.
The splendor of a night sky lit by thousands of stars has for millennia inspired and connected humanity with a shared sense of awe and wonder. Today, some 80% of US households live under nighttime skies that are too bright to see more than a few hundred stars, let alone the Milky Way, and our skies continue to brighten artificially. This is because the dark-sky efforts of the past decades have not been effective enough to stem light pollution’s growth—except in places like Flagstaff, Arizona, a community that stands out as a success story and model for other cities in stemming light pollution and restoring dark skies. The Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition can help your community reduce its light pollution so that everyone can see the Milky Way once again and reconnect to the night sky. We believe that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, should be able to see the Milky Way in a dark sky that is cherished by their community and beneficial for all life.
