Description
Look up on a moonless cloud-free night from Exmoor National Park and you’ll be greeted by a dazzling starlit landscape. Thousands of more stars can be seen from this tiny dark sky enclave in Southwest Britain than from most towns and cities around the world. It is a stargazing paradise – a window into a Universe of distant fragile light that can only be seen because of Exmoor’s zero tolerance towards light pollution. In Exmoor Dark Skies life-long amateur astronomer Sebastian T. Jay explores the wonders of this night-time world above our heads from some of the darkest places around Exmoor’s International Dark Sky Reserve. He uses his robust knowledge of astronomy to take us on a journey out across the cosmos with our eyes, revealing what we can see by just looking up, and the treasures that await our personal discovery when using a small portable telescope. Whether you’re an experienced amateur astronomer, new to the night sky, or simply want to learn more about the opportunities to stargaze from Exmoor, this book serves as a practical guide to help you get the most out of your time under Exmoor’s dark skies.
