Starlight Reserve is a site where a commitment to defend the night sky quality and the access to starlight has been established. Its main function will be to preserve the quality of the night sky and its associated values, being them cultural, scientific, astronomical, natural, or landscape-related.
I read about this in relation to Tekapo, New Zealand. They are trying to get designated as a starlight reserve. Can you imagine being able to see such a vision as the one below? Amazing. I might need to plan a trip there. Here's the
article that came out.

That's amazing. I would love to be able to look up at the sky and see that every night.
Beautiful. I have so rarely seen a genuine night sky that wasn't all compromised by lights. It really is a shame.
Churlita, of course, you'd have to live in the middle of nowhere...
Laura, when you do see it, it is amazing...
Like an observatory, only better!
What are you talking about--I see this all time....wait...does this mean I live in the middle of nowhere? lol
skies full of stars are one of the reasons i'm willing to put up with the smell of cow shit. i wonder what i'd be willing to deal with to see skies ~that~ full of stars on a regular basis...
Zactly!
Ain't it wonderful?
*sigh*
I love the view up. It's such an awesome thing.
