The Vanishing Night

Weber Road
Photograph by Tom Atwood
Darkness is a thing of the past. Even on a country road in the Midwest, far from any towns or cities, the sky is lit up at night, not by stars, but by our scattered light. Farmers have yard lights, cars have headlights, billboards have floodlights. The result? The night sky that has inspired people for thousands of years is disappearing before our very eyes. Even on Weber Road.
