"Unleashing the Beauty of the Night Sky: Escaping Light Pollution"

Light pollution in cities makes it difficult to see stars, but there are places to escape it. Cincinnati parks like Ault Park and French Park offer good views, while Big Bone Lick State Historic Site and Serpent Mound in Kentucky and Hocking Hills in Ohio are great for road trips. For a vacation, Upper Peninsula Michigan and Crater Lake National Park in Oregon offer some of the darkest skies in the country. Many National Parks have achieved certified dark sky status and offer breathtaking views of the stars.
