IOM doing well on limiting light levels
A local astronomer says light pollution has a hugely detrimental effect on the wildlife of planet earth.
Howard Parkin is the organiser behind a series of events this month celebrating the Dark Skies of the Isle of Man, which includes stargazing sessions and trips to the observatory.
