Long before electric light, the moon shaped how people, animals and ecosystems navigated the night. In the first installment of a new series on the northern night sky, Expedition Leader Katrina Rosen explores the moon’s origins, phases and cycles and how they influence life on Earth. Blending science with Indigenous knowledge, she shares Inuit moon stories and reflections on how dark-sky places like Churchill, Manitoba, transform our experience of night. She also highlights why protecting dark skies matters for wildlife and humans alike.
