Stargazers are flocking to AZ's 22 Dark Sky Places — and putting astrotourism on the map
Arizona is home to around 22 officially designated Dark Sky Places, making it one of the best spots in the country to look up and get lost in the night sky; however, that accomplishment didn't happen overnight. Flagstaff began safeguarding its skies in 1958 with outdoor lighting ordinances, setting the global standard for how to care for our skies. In 2023, Arizona received 45.7 million overnight visitors, according to the Arizona Office of Tourism. Since then, those numbers have continued to trend upward with the growing popularity of dark sky tourism, commonly known as astrotourism. Adding to its celestial reputation, Flagstaff's Lowell Observatory was recently named one of TIME's World's Greatest Places of 2025 after its expansion with the addition of the Marley Foundation Astronomy Discovery Center. This week on Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and Christian Luginbuhl, board president of the Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition, and Josh Coddington, director of communications at the Arizona Office of Tourism, answer the question: How did Flagstaff become the world's first international dark sky city?

Biogents Inc. Unveils Next-Generation Mosquito Traps for Safer, Eco-Friendly Control
Biogents introduces scientifically validated, pesticide-free mosquito traps designed to combat mosquito populations while protecting the environment. United States, February 15, 2025 -- A Revolutionary Approach to Mosquito Control Biogents Inc., a global leader in mosquito control technology, has launched a new generation of highly effective, insecticide-free mosquito traps. With a science-backed approach that mimics human scent to attract mosquitoes, these traps offer a safe and sustainable alternative to traditional chemical-based solutions. For decades, mosquito control has relied on insecticides, which not only pose risks to human health and the environment but also become less effective over time as mosquitoes develop resistance. Biogents' breakthrough technology changes the game by targeting mosquitoes specifically—without harming beneficial insects such as butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. 'As concerns about insecticide resistance and environmental harm continue to grow, we provide an alternative that is both highly effective and sustainable,' said John M. Anderson, President of Biogents Inc. 'Our technology is a result of over two decades of scientific research, designed to make mosquito control safer for people and the planet.' Scientifically Proven Effectiveness Biogents' mosquito traps have been extensively tested in laboratory and field conditions, with over 400 scientific studies confirming their superior efficacy. Using a combination of CO₂, heat, and scent cues, the traps naturally attract and capture mosquitoes without the need for toxic chemicals. This advanced technology has gained the trust of global health organizations, leading to collaborations with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. These partnerships highlight Biogents' commitment to advancing mosquito control solutions that support global public health initiatives. 'Biogents' technology is the most scientifically validated mosquito trap available today,' added Anderson. 'With our ongoing research and collaboration with international health organizations, we aim to make mosquito-borne disease prevention more effective and accessible worldwide.' Recognition and Industry Impact The effectiveness of Biogents' mosquito traps has earned the company industry recognition, leading to its feature in the upcoming television series 'World's Greatest', which will air on Hulu in March 2025. This feature will showcase Biogents' contributions to mosquito control innovation and the company's role in reshaping how the world approaches mosquito management. In addition to this recognition, Biogents is a strong contender for prestigious industry awards, including the 'Best Mosquito Trap' category. The company's continued focus on scientific research, innovation, and sustainability sets it apart from traditional mosquito control solutions. A Safer, More Sustainable Future Traditional mosquito sprays and fogging techniques introduce toxins into the environment, negatively affecting ecosystems and pollinator populations. Biogents' traps provide a targeted, long-term solution that effectively reduces mosquito populations without disrupting biodiversity. As consumers and industries seek more environmentally responsible pest control methods, Biogents is at the forefront of delivering a pesticide-free alternative that is safe for families, pets, and the environment. The company's solutions are widely used in residential, commercial, and public health settings, helping to create mosquito-free environments without the use of harmful chemicals. Biogents' mission is clear: to provide scientifically validated, eco-friendly mosquito control solutions that protect both human health and the environment. Biogents Inc. is a global leader in mosquito control, specializing in scientifically validated, eco-friendly trapping solutions. With over 22 years of research and more than 400 published studies, Biogents has developed highly effective mosquito traps that provide a safe, non-toxic alternative to traditional insecticides. The company partners with leading health organizations, including the CDC, WHO, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to advance mosquito control worldwide. Media Contact John M.
