These days, it’s not easy task to find a patch of clear night sky that’s not obstructed by light pollution. But, just 37 kilometres north of Napanee the L&A Dark Sky Viewing Area (DSVA) is ready to wow you with incredible, clear views. This spot is the most southerly point in Ontario that offers a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago.

For millennia, human beings have gazed into the firmament and been awed by the thousands of stars, galaxies, nebulae, and other cosmic wonders visible to the naked eye. But in recent generations, much of humanity has become divorced from these marvels. Today, at least 80 percent of people living in the United States and Europe are so inundated with light pollution that they can’t even see our own Milky Way, let alone our neighboring galaxies like Andromeda. In response to this creeping celestial blindness, conservation groups around the world have designated dark-sky parks, preserves, and sanctuaries—places where light pollution remains at a minimum and it is still possible to see an unblemished night sky. As with all conservation efforts, appreciation is key: We only work to protect what we know and love.

(photo by Terence Dickinson) It’s harder than ever to find a patch of clear night sky these days in southern Ontario. More city lights means more light pollution and fewer chances to get wowed by the universe as it actually looks from planet Earth. How to Make the Most of Your Visit As long as the night has fallen and there are few clouds in the sky, the views will be spectacular from the Dark Sky Viewing Area. But if you want to experience the site at its very best, following these tips provided by Terence Dickinson: 1. Choose an evening following a day with deep blue skies, which indicates low humidity and clear air. 2. As pretty as the moon is, choose a moonless or close to moonless night for dark sky viewing with lots of stars and views of the Milky Way. 3. Speaking of the Milky Way, the best times to see it are from 3 am to 5 am in May, 1 am to 3 am in June, 11 pm to 1 am in July, nightfall to 11:30 pm in August, and nightfall to 9:30 pm in September. 4. Bring binoculars or a telescope if you have one. A reclining lawn chair is an ideal accessory, along with warm clothing and a blanket. 5. It really is dark, so bring a small, dim flashlight to see where you’re walking.
