The fourth annual Dark Sky Festival begins Thursday evening in Cook County in far northeastern Minnesota, a region increasingly known for its astrotourism and a chance to see truly dark skies in an ever-brightening world. This is a morning MPR News update, hosted by John Wanamaker. Music by Gary Meister.
