April Is Dark Sky Month in Utah

For our ancestors, the night sky was a guide for when to plant crops and a source of myths still relevant today – a stark contrast from the current day where much of the world rarely sees true darkness. Utah, however, is lucky to boast the highest concentration of internationally-certified dark sky locations in the world. Using advanced camera techniques, photographer Marcin Zając was able to capture and showcase the brilliance of Utah’s breathtaking dark skies.
