Wednesday Flakes Makes You Look At The Sky

It may come to no surprise to many of you but Nebraska has some pretty clear skies that are free of light pollution. So much so that there is now a “Sky Park” in Cherry County designated so because of the lake of light pollution. (article below)

Pretty cool designation. I recommend you all leave your city dwellings sometime this fall and check it out. I say that assuming that may of you live in a town/city type situation.

Any who, enjoy your Wednesday.
