Aim for the Stars

Not long ago, humans could look up at the sky on any given night and see thousands of stars sparkling in the infinite darkness. The modern era and the effects of light pollution have put such an inspirational sight out of the reach of many. But those celestial objects are still there and continue to inspire endless amounts of stories. Be brave, aim for the stars and reach for them.

Add nonfiction books you've read about astronomy, stargazing, light pollution and/or protecting our starry night skies.
