Tell Your Friends and Family about Losing the Dark!

It’s International Dark Sky Week! Do you want to help spread the word about light pollution and the importance of dark skies? We have the perfect tool for you. Losing the Dark, our short education film that addresses these issues.

Losing the Dark - Flat Screen Version from International Dark-Sky Assn on Vimeo.

It can be watched online at YouTube and Vimeo or you can download it for free. There’s even a fulldome version for use at planetarium theaters, and it’s available in 14 languages, with more on the way!

It’s been viewed in more than 1,000 fulldome planetarium theaters, and nearly 100,000 times on YouTube and Vimeo.

Help spread the word and Happy International Dark Sky Week!
