Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful night for our full moon hike tonight. We’ll meet at Lot 1 by the office, hike starts at 7:00.Tonight, October 17th, marks our third supermoon of the year, known as the Hunter’s Moon. A supermoon occurs when the moon's orbit brings it closest to Earth while it's in its full phase, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. Regardless of your location, you can expect to see a large and more luminous moon gracing the night sky, offering spectacular natural lighting to step outside and connect with nature. 🌝#DarkSky #ProtectTheNight #DiscoverTheNight #ROLAN #DarkSkyInternational #SaveTheNight #NightMatters #LightPollution #FullMoon #HuntersMoon ...

So who goes out after 10 pm to help park naturalist Beth Bartoli take Sky Quality Meter Readings? Micky and Gerry Swanson, the ultimate park groupies, that’s who! This is one of the many activities that goes on behind the scenes to maintain Newport’s international dark sky Park designation. These readings must be done at least twice a year in six different areas of the park and be reported to IDA. If you read the previous post, you see how quickly the effects of light pollution and sky glow from neighboring towns can affect places that are trying to maintain areas with minimal to no light trespass. In our critical area, every single light affects the night. ... See MoreSee Less

Our park would not be what it is without the hundreds of programs and events that Beth Bartoli coordinates and leads. ... See MoreSee Less
