🌌 25 years ago, Flagstaff changed how the world looks at the night sky.
On October 24, 2001, Flagstaff became the world’s first International Dark Sky City.
✨ Sky glow here is over 90% fainter than in comparable cities
✨ The Milky Way is still visible from downtown
✨ A community of 77,000+ people proves cities and stars can coexist
Join us and Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition in celebrating 25 years of protecting the night, and come see what a real dark sky looks like. 🔭
