Online Webinar
This event is brought to you by the Four Corners Lecture Series, Mesa Verde National Park, and the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center.
Until a century ago, every night, everywhere in the world was dark. Our ancestors across the world enjoyed nights swimming with stars, planets, and galaxies. But today, a sky full of stars is an increasingly rare and endangered sight. In 2021, Mesa Verde National Park was certified as the 100th International Dark Sky Park, joining a growing network of refuges committed to preserving and advocating for naturally dark skies. Mesa Verde’s exceptional dark skies are an integral piece of the park’s cultural landscape and a growing draw for visitors to the region. Join Park Ranger Spencer Burke to learn more about Mesa Verde’s years-long certification efforts, what it means to be a Dark Sky Park, and why we should all care about preserving dark skies over the Four Corners region.
The webinar is suitable for lifelong learners from high school students to adults. The lesson is free.
