It’s wild to think that most people today have never seen the Milky Way — not because it disappeared, but because our lights drowned it out. 🌌✨ Streetlights, billboards, parking lots, and porch lights all create a skyglow that hides the stars we once took for granted.

If you haven't had a chance to read our cover story in the fall issue of Treasure Coast Almanac, here's our enhanced online story. Many thanks to the experts who contributed to the story written by Patrick Mugan with Treasure Coast Astronomical Society including Jon U. Bell, Hallstrom Planetarium Director at Indian River State College, Kendra Cope with Coastal Connections Inc., and Rob Martin, astro photographer who generously provided the spectacular photo featured on the fall cover.
