The United Arab Emirates, known for its bright city lights and rapid development, faces significant light pollution that obscures the night sky. A recent initiative by the Dubai Astronomy Group has been helping residents reconnect with the cosmos through excursions to Al Quaa Desert, one of the darkest locations in the country. During a recent event, participants marveled at the sight of the Milky Way and spotted meteors, a stark contrast to the urban glow that typically envelops the region. The UAE ranks among the most light-polluted nations, with studies indicating that 99% of its population cannot see the Milky Way from their homes. In response, Abu Dhabi has introduced a Dark Sky Policy aimed at mitigating light pollution. The excursions provide a unique opportunity for families and individuals to experience the night sky as Bedouins did, fostering a sense of wonder and appreciation for the universe. As they lay on the desert sand, participants engaged with the stars, marking a moment of connection to their cultural heritage and the natural world.
