Stunning image Laughing once again by Wally Pacholka, one of the world's best starry night sky photographers. Wally is a TWAN (The World at Night) photographer and dedicated to capturing remarkable starry night vistas of U.S. National Parks and sharing with others the absolute beauty our universe and our ability to connect with it. Wally's images remind us that our night skies are worth the effort to preserve and protect from light pollution for current and future generations and all of biodiversity.

We would love to encourage each one of our StarPals to share and develop their meteor shower experiences.  StarPals who record and submit data of meteor showers as suggested by the AMS (American Meteor Society) and other similar societies are eligible for special recognition. There are many opportunities for citizen scientist participation in the astronomy world... especially meaningful and productive as multi-national collaborative efforts.
