Clear Air and Magnificent Skies (Utah)
Our national parks provide scenic views of some our country's most unique landscapes, and opportunities to explore the dark night skies. Impacts like poor air quality and light pollution affect not only the health of our planet and ecosystem, but the way we enjoy our national parks. In this video, hear from the Colorado Plateau Dark Sky Cooperative and learn more about the way our viewsheds and night skies are being impacted and what we can do to protect them.
Utah is the Center of the Universe for Dark Skies
Worldwide, light pollution is growing twice as fast as Earth’s human population. Artificial light at night threatens more than just stargazing; research shows that light pollution negatively impacts wildlife, air quality, and human health. Utah has more recognized International Dark Sky Places than any other state; in fact, it has more than any country besides the United States.
The University of Utah is also an international leader in stewarding the nighttime environment: The U-based Consortium for Dark Sky Studies is the first research center in the world focused on the interdisciplinary connections of artificial light and dark skies. The W. M. Keck Foundation awarded $250,000 to establish a new undergraduate minor in dark sky studies at the U, the first of its kind in the U.S.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Death Valley National Park is an American national park that straddles the California—Nevada border, east of the Sierra Nevada. The park occupies an interface zone between the arid Great Basin and Mojave deserts, protecting the northwest corner of the Mojave Desert and its diverse environment of salt-flats, sand dunes, badlands, valleys, canyons, and mountains. Death Valley is the largest national park in the lower 48 states, and the hottest, driest and lowest of all the national parks in the United States. The second-lowest point in the Western Hemisphere is in Badwater Basin, which is 282 feet (86 m) below sea level. Approximately 91% of the park is a designated wilderness area. The park is home to many species of plants and animals that have adapted to this harsh desert environment. Some examples include creosote bush, bighorn sheep, coyote, and the Death Valley pupfish, a survivor from much wetter times. UNESCO included Death Valley as the principal feature of its Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve in 1984.A series of Native American groups inhabited the area from as early as 7000 BC, most recently the Timbisha around 1000 AD who migrated between winter camps in the valleys and summer grounds in the mountains. A group of European-Americans, trapped in the valley in 1849 while looking for a shortcut to the gold fields of California, gave the valley its name, even though only one of their group died there. Several short-lived boom towns sprang up during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to mine gold and silver. The only long-term profitable ore to be mined was borax, which was transported out of the valley with twenty-mule teams. The valley later became the subject of books, radio programs, television series, and movies. Tourism expanded in the 1920s when resorts were built around Stovepipe Wells and Furnace Creek. Death Valley National Monument was declared in 1933 and the park was substantially expanded and became a national park in 1994.The natural environment of the area has been shaped largely by its geology. The valley is actually a graben with the oldest rocks being extensively metamorphosed and at least 1.7 billion years old. Ancient, warm, shallow seas deposited marine sediments until rifting opened the Pacific Ocean. Additional sedimentation occurred until a subduction zone formed off the coast. The subduction uplifted the region out of the sea and created a line of volcanoes. Later the crust started to pull apart, creating the current Basin and Range landform. Valleys filled with sediment and, during the wet times of glacial periods, with lakes, such as Lake Manly.
In 2013, Death Valley National Park was designated as a dark sky park by the International Dark-Sky Association.
Dark Skies Over Torrey
Dark Skies Over Torrey is a resident-led project to help the small community of Torrey, Utah become the state's first dark sky community. The first stage, funded on ioby, replaced all of Torrey’s public streetlights with fully shielded, dark-sky friendly, LED lights. Subsequent phases of the project will help Torrey residents replace privately owned lights that are out of compliance with Torrey’s Dark Sky ordinance, and will launch an education program for local businesses, residents, and tourists about the benefits of dark sky lighting.
