For more than a millennium, Orthodox Christian monks have woken up in the predawn darkness to start their day with prayer at the Panagia Hozoviotissa Monastery, built high into a cliffside on the island of Amorgos. The tall, whitewashed complex is a speck about half-way up the precipitous mountain that plunges into the Aegean Sea. Except for a few small chapels scattered among the rocks, no other structure is in sight — and no light pollution to dim the swirl of stars as it increasingly does around the world. In this picture is seen the cliffside Hozoviotissa Monastery under the starry night sky.

For nearly four decades, residents in southern India’s coastal city of Chennai have patrolled moonlit beaches at night trying to protect sea turtles and their hatchlings that for millennia have nested along these shores. Hungry dogs, locals looking for a snack, and disorienting lights are among the hazards facing the olive ridley turtles and their eggs, which can take up to 60 days to hatch. Many turtles are caught offshore in fishing nets, which this year alone have killed hundreds of them in the area. A forest official collects olive ridley sea turtle eggs on Marina Beach in Chennai.
