It's disheartening to bid farewell to the dark sky, where countless stars once adorned our nights. Light pollution and urbanization are swiftly robbing us of this natural wonder, making it increasingly challenging to witness the beauty of a starry night.

As the stars fade, let's work together to protect the night sky, rekindle our sense of wonder, and ensure that future generations can still look up and dream among the stars.
