Utah is the Center of the Universe for Dark Skies

Worldwide, light pollution is growing twice as fast as Earth’s human population. Artificial light at night threatens more than just stargazing; research shows that light pollution negatively impacts wildlife, air quality, and human health. Utah has more recognized International Dark Sky Places than any other state; in fact, it has more than any country besides the United States.
The University of Utah is also an international leader in stewarding the nighttime environment: The U-based Consortium for Dark Sky Studies is the first research center in the world focused on the interdisciplinary connections of artificial light and dark skies. The W. M. Keck Foundation awarded $250,000 to establish a new undergraduate minor in dark sky studies at the U, the first of its kind in the U.S.

It's NOT just Light Pollution that is causing this phenomenon on its own, but rather the ROOT CAUSE is the build up of water in our upper atmosphere which is being illuminated by the light from our cities.
WARNING: As oceanic and land temperatures increase, there is more evaporation of water.
If this phenomenon continues, in the near future we won't be able to see any stars, and the daylight will reduce to the point where sunlight will no longer reach the Earth, being blocked out by the increased level of water content in our upper atmosphere.
Can we do anything to prevent this? NO.....

Yeah bs- the Southern Hemisphere is *by far* namely Punyelroo and Coonabarabran.
I’ve been to some of your dark night sky parks and they’re nothing compared to ours in Australia
