But darkness is disappearing, and with it, our view of the stars. The constant glow of streetlights, of headlights streaming down highways, and wasteful glare from skyscrapers left shining all night have created so much light pollution that the majority of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way or experience the restful embrace of a natural night. As the dark becomes ever more elusive, it is a critical moment to stop, look up, and consider what we lose with the disappearing stars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eNightfaring\u003c\/i\u003e, Megan Eaves-Egenes travels around the world to better understand our deep connection to the dark.
