The Texas Night Sky Festival was this weekend in Dripping Springs, Texas. It was hosted by the International Dark-Sky Association Texas Section (IDA Texas), Hays County Master Naturalists, and the City of Dripping Springs, the first community in Texas, and the sixth in the world, to receive the International Dark-Sky Community designation in 2014.
