Edge of Darkness

Okay kiddo, have you ever gone to bed at night and it's really dark in your room? Well, imagine if the whole world was that dark, all the time! The edge of darkness is a scary place where there is almost no light, and it's really far away from people and cities.

This darkness is caused by something called light pollution. When there are too many lights in a city or town, it makes it hard to see the stars and other things in the sky. But when you go far away from all the lights, there are fewer things to block the stars and the sky can be really beautiful!

At the edge of darkness, there is almost no light from cities or towns, and it can be really hard to see anything at all. It's a very mysterious place that scientists study to learn more about space and the universe. They use special tools to help them see better in the dark, but it's still a very difficult place to explore.

So, the edge of darkness is a very dark and mysterious place where people go to study space and the universe. It's really far away from cities and towns, and it can be hard to see anything at all because there's almost no light.
