'We Still Have the Sky': Astronomy Joins the Revitalization of Serra d'Espadà After the Fire

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General2 September 2026 at 16:00

The Serra d'Espadà lost part of its landscape to the flames of the recent wildfire, but at night its sky remains untouched. It was with this idea that the initiative "We Still Have the Sky" was born, launched by the Societat Astronòmica de Castelló (SAC). The project brings astronomy to the municipalities affected by the fire as a form of companionship, scientific outreach, and hope for the local communities. The SAC thus aims to offer the populations affected by the environmental tragedy a moment of connection with the night sky, which survived the fire that destroyed part of the mountain range.
