Half of nature is at night.  We are losing it due to the cumulative impact of seemingly inconsequential individual actions that sum to rolling back the night.  This page is about how you can better enjoy, share, and protect our collective access to this disappearing natural heritage asset.

Below are links to various resources, activities, and projects that you might find rewarding as a user, volunteer, or contributor.

• • Follow ANSA's Facebook Page and YouTube Channel.
  • Join our Facebook Group Page where others share their love of the night sky.
  • Learn how to light responsibly.
  • Self-certify your home for responsible lighting.
  • Subscribe to our infrequent but important events Newsletter.
  • Document sky-glow in your area as a citizen scientist with the Globe-at-Night program - it is fun, and you will learn the sky.
  • Become a Member of ANSA.
  • Support the mothership and become an IDA member.
  • Hey, you might also check out a library telescope.
  • For fun, scan through the Discover Natural State Skies menu items above for Dark-Sky places and activities, and make sure we see you at the Dark-Sky Festival.
  • Finally, get involved by joining our groups.io volunteer platform, and if you design, sell, or install lighting in your work, join our list of Responsible Lighting Hero Professionals.
