Central Idaho could host nation's first dark sky reserve

摘要

Conservationists and local officials in central Idaho want to establish the nation's first International Dark Sky Reserve in part of the state's less populated region. "We know the night sky has inspired people for many thousands of years," said John Barentine, program manager at the Tucson, Ariz.-based International Dark-Sky Association. "When they are in a space where they can see it, it's often a very profound experience."
