International Dark Sky Week (formerly the National Dark Sky Week) is held during the week of the new moon in April,[1][2] when people worldwide may turn off their lights to observe the beauty of the night sky without light pollution. This event was founded in 2003 by high school student Jennifer Barlow of Midlothian, Virginia.[3] It has been endorsed by the International Dark-Sky Association, the American Astronomical Society, the Astronomical League, and Sky & Telescope.[4]
