Imagine yourself under a sea of stars, as moonlight glistens off snow-dusted mountain peaks around you. Now imagine this wonder being just steps away from your hotel room. One place in the Canadian Rockies makes this starry dream a reality.
Jasper National Park spans over 11,000 square kilometres, making it the world’s largest accessible Dark Sky preserve. The park is one of 17 designated dark sky preserves in Canada, aiming to reduce or eradicate light pollution, to protect and preserve the night sky. More than 99 per cent of people living in the U.S. and Europe live under light-polluted skies, with roughly 80 per cent of North Americans unable to see the Milky Way from their own backyards. Since the park earned its designation by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada in 2011, it has hosted the annual Jasper Dark Sky Festival. Held in the autumn, the festival welcomes stargazers of all ages to look up at the night sky and participate in celestial events and activities. Increase your awareness of light pollution while learning more about our universe. Here’s what the festival has to offer.
