The High Desert boasts some of the darkest night skies in the continental United States. But with the region’s population growth, dark skies are a natural resource being lost. Increasing light pollution emanating from developed areas threatens the health and populations of species that depend on the dark including insects, migrating birds and even humans. Vanishing Night: Conserving Dark Skies in the High Desert is a special exhibit that is on display now into July at the High Desert Museum in Bend
