I'd noticed a "DARK SKY ZONE" sign on our weekly road bike rides and wondered how someone pulled that off in our over-developed, horribly light polluted area of town. Turns out it's for military operations at nearby Camp Bullis. Hey, I'm all for it--I miss my dark skies for stargazing and meteor-watching from growing up, and I've been appalled at how AWFUL the commercial lighting fixtures are in our area as each new commercial complex has gone in (Target's the worst!)
