Exchange Exemplar: "The End Of Night"

Jacob Frank, National Park Service

Blast from the Past: enjoying the night sky is one of the features of living in the State of Jefferson. 

The lack of gigantic cities and the corresponding presence of open and wild spaces makes for places to see the sky in all of its glory. 

But in much of the world, lights from the ground tend to obscure our view of the lights from the sky.  Paul Bogard wrote about this in his book The End Of Night.  He visited the Exchange three years ago, and we revisit that interview here.
