Welcome to the website for the Dark Sky Discovery project.
The UK has some of the darkest skies, and also some of the most light polluted skies in Europe, but no matter where you are, there is always somewhere where you can enjoy a good view of the night sky.
This project is linking organisations, individuals and resources in each part of the UK into Dark Sky Partnerships. These partnerships are delivering astronomy events throughout the UK during the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
The Dark Sky Discovery project is based on some aspects of the highly successful Dark Sky Scotland project. Each of the new Dark Sky Partnerships will run similar activities in 2009, and as each Partnership gets up and running, you can link to their details and events using the map.
Thank you for visiting the site, please keep checking back for updates in the future.
