Star watch

“In search of gold, we lost the diamonds”, I saw this quote recently.

I’d like to propose 4 national holidays that fall on the two solstices and the equinoxes. No need to take a day off as the purpose is to see the stars. Our ancestors had a deep connection to nature and our night time lights have driven us from that. So I propose that 4 nights a year we turn off ass many city lights as SAFELY as possible. Implore people to go outside and see the stars. Being able to see the stars is a huge lift of mental health. It is a very grounding experience as well as educational for kids.

We have an abundance of national holidays already.

We don’t need one holiday - let alone 4 - for the express purpose of watching stars.

Do you notice Earth day? It would be on the same level as that.

Earth Day isn’t a national holiday.
