I would like to encourage both residents, new business owners, new homeowners, and visitors to turn off their lights at the end of the day. This dramatically helps prevent unnecessary light pollution for our exceptionally beautiful starry night skies.
Of special importance is that this weekend, the Perseid Meteor Shower will be taking place. The peak of the shower is predicted to be Sunday night into early Monday morning. By turning off your lights and “turning on the night” everyone will have a better chance to “catch” a shooting star or two.
Many thanks to everyone for cooperating to preserve our night skies for future generations.
Sincerely,
Lake City Skies
Phillip Virden
