We had the honor of sitting down with Ron Dyvig, Founder and Co-owner of the Badlands Observatory, and Matthias Schmitt, Astronomy Guide and Night Sky Program Coordinator at Cedar Breaks National Monument, for an inspiring conversation about one of our region’s most precious and often overlooked natural resources: the dark sky. 🌌As light pollution continues to spread, the Badlands remains one of the last frontiers for truly breathtaking night skies. Together with Ron, we explored how we help preserve this irreplaceable view of our universe.Our shared vision? A future where the stars remain visible to all—and where the Badlands serve as a sanctuary for stargazers, wildlife, and future generations.𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝘒𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘗𝘶𝘵𝘯𝘢𝘮 (𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘚𝘬𝘺 𝘐𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳), 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 (𝘉𝘕𝘗𝘊 𝘌𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳), 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘴 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘵 (𝘈𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨), 𝘙𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘺𝘷𝘪𝘨 (𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 & 𝘊𝘰-𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘖𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺), 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘻𝘬 (𝘉𝘕𝘗𝘊 𝘉𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳), 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘵 (𝘉𝘕𝘗𝘊 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺) ...
