SUMMARY:International Dark Sky Week
DESCRIPTION:International Dark Sky Week is a worldwide celebration of the dark and natural night. The goal is to draw attention to light pollution\, promote simple solutions to mitigate the issue\, and celebrate the irreplaceable beauty of a natural night.  \n \nInternational Dark Sky Week was started by high school student Jennifer Barlow in 2003 and is now spearheaded by DarkSky International. In explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, “I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder.” \n \nThe Keweenaw Mountain Lodge is the the headquarters for the Keweenaw Dark Sky Park (which was designated an International Dark Sky Park on June 21\, 2022.) As part of being a Dark Sky Park we provide education and community outreach about unnecessary light pollution. We do this by creating educational posters\, offering monthly workshops and hosting the annual Upper Peninsula Dark Sky Festival. \n \nIn 2024\, the state of Michigan has made a proclamation for International Dark Sky Week (as well\, the Governor did in 2023): \n\nApril 2-8\, 2024 Dark Sky Week Proclamation on April 2\, 2024 by Governor Gretchen Whitmer\n\n \nIn 2024\, governing municipalities in our area have begun to make proclamations for International Dark Sky Week. The following local municipalities have made a proclamation for 2024: \n\nEagle Harbor Township made a proclamation on March 11\, 2024 \n\n\n[ Download the 2024 Eagle Harbor Township Dark Sky Week Proclamation ]  \n

SUMMARY:Fostering the Keweenaw's Dark Skies
DESCRIPTION:[ Read: Fostering the Keweenaw’s Dark Skies Seminar Recap ] \n\n[ A Visit Keweenaw Sustainable Tourism Series Event ] \nProgram Description\nThe Keweenaw is home to some of the darkest skies in the Midwest. This provides visitors and residents access to incredible stargazing opportunities and even the chance to experience the Northern Lights. Join Visit Keweenaw for a discussion on ways to ensure the Keweenaw’s dark skies are preserved for future generations and the science behind light pollution prevention. We’ll touch on actions taken to establish the Keweenaw Dark Sky Park in Copper Harbor and why preserving dark skies are important to the region.   \nSpeakers \nJohn Mueller | Keweenaw Mountain Lodge & Keweenaw Dark Sky Park: John is the chief lead at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge\, where he is heavily involved with the staff as it relates to culture\, operations\, and strategy of the resort. He purchased the WPA-era lodge at the top of the Keweenaw in 2018\, and has transitioned the rustic and historic cabins to be supported by outdoor activities\, rustic worldly food\, and education year-round. \nPreviously\, John was a professor at St. Edward’s University\, focusing on entrepreneurship and innovation. Before his time at St. Edward’s\, he was a faculty member at Fresno State and Western Michigan University. He finished his PhD in Entrepreneurship at the University of Louisville\, and has an MBA from the University of Illinois and a BBA from Southern Methodist University. He is a native of Austin\, Texas\, and has lived in many cool places around the world which has helped shape his perspective on life. \nJohn Barentine | Dark Sky Consulting\, LLC: John is an Arizona native and comes from the “dark side” of science — professional astronomy. He grew up in Phoenix and was involved in amateur astronomy there from grade school. Later\, he attended the University of Arizona\, beginning research in jobs at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories and National Solar Observatory headquarters in Tucson. From 2001-06 he was on the staff of Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico\, serving first as an observing specialist on the Astrophysical Research Consortium 3.5-meter telescope and then as an observer for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. John is the author of three books on the history of astronomy\, The Lost Constellations\, Uncharted Constellations\, and Mystery of the Ashen Light of Venus. The asteroid (14505) Barentine is named in his honor. ​ \nHe obtained a master’s degree in physics at Colorado State University and a master’s and Ph.D. in astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin. John has contributed to science in fields ranging from solar physics to galaxy evolution while helping develop hardware for ground-based and aircraft-borne astronomy. Throughout his career\, he has been involved in education and outreach efforts to help increase the public understanding of science. \nJohn formerly served as the International Dark Sky Places Program Manager\, Director of Public Policy and Director of Conservation for the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) in Tucson\, Arizona. \n  \n\n \nThis event is organized by Visit Keweenaw as part of the Keweenaw Sustainable Tourism Series.
