Tunnel Fire in the Dark Sky City April 21, 2022 8:35 pm ER

The Tunnel Fire in Flagstaff, AZ is causing severe damage in that area. It’s sad, Flagstaff is noted for its clear and dark skies, and it welcomes amateur astronomers to retire there, offering all sorts of regulations to curb light pollution. It is also the site of Lowell Observatory, where Pluto was discovered in 1930.
