The Earth at night reveals a magical vision. We light up our towns and villas, our offices and car parks, our industrial estates and monuments… and we’re proud of it! We feel safe, our buildings are enhanced and nightlife is made easier. But along the way, we’ve somewhat forgotten the role and importance of the night. Like an orchestra conductor, it silently directs the entire living world. Science reveals that the starry sky is a powerful reference point for insects, mammals, plants… and even humans. It is perhaps in the night that life first appeared, and it is thanks to the night that our memories are consolidated while we sleep. We are living in extraordinary times… we have a unique opportunity to rediscover our nocturnal abilities, to connect with the Universe… and why not to cure ourselves of our fear of the dark.
Let’s turn out the lights and discover the night!
