This beautifully written article by Irene Nolan of the Island Free Press about losing our night sky is worth a read. It is sad that we can no longer see the stars as we once did, but there is hope.
“There is a theft ring here on Hatteras and Ocracoke islands.
It’s made up of locals and tourists alike. They are stealing a precious part of life here.
They are stealing the night.
They are stealing the night from stargazers and lovers, from porch-sitters and beachgoers, from young and old.”
