The Isle of Man has been officially recognised as the best star gazing location in the British Isles.
The accolade comes after the Dark Sky Discovery Network announced the Island now has a total of 26 designated discovery sites.
This number represents the largest concentration in the British Isles.
The story has been picked up by the British media, with extensive press in all of today’s major newspapers.
Head of tourism Angela Byrne says it’s this type of coverage the Island has been striving for in recent years:
MHK to ask urgent question about Noble's Hospital beds
Salvation Army service helping people with more than £2 million of debt
Tynwald question over government's post office payments
Local authority rapped over changing hut FOI response
Roadworks mean temporary lights at noble's Hospital
Lord Street plans up for consideration this morning
Shear joy in Laxey this summer!
MHK queries government's back-up flood defence plan
