Across much of the world, night skies like this one — virtually free of light pollution — are disappearing, nibbled away by the ever-expanding glow of city lights. These days, 4 of 5 Americans can no longer see the Milky Way. But in Colorado, 2 tiny ranching and railroad towns have decided to tap into a dwindling natural resource: darkness. Among their efforts: They’ve replaced street lights and passed rules requiring that outdoor lights point down. Last year, the International Dark-Sky Association rewarded the 2 towns — Westcliffe (population 568) and Silver Cliff (population 587) — by designating them as one of a handful of #darksky communities. Lovers of the night cheered. And a trickle of amateur star-gazers have started to visit, telescopes in tow. Very early this morning, @nickcotephoto took this photo at the Smokey Jack Observatory in Westcliffe, where a group to peer up at the annual spectacle of the #Perseid meteor shower.
