The International Dark Sky Discovery Center (IDSDC) will be opening in Fountain Hills in early 2027. Join Dr. Cain Jagodzinski, CEO, as he introduces the world’s center for learning about the importance of dark skies and what lies beyond. No other facility in the world focuses on how important dark skies are to the well-being of humans, plants, and animals, and for opening a window to the observable universe.
