Get the dates in your diary! ✨
Welsh Dark Sky Week will be back in 2024 to bring as many people out under our beautiful night skies as we possibly can 🌌🤩🔭
All events will be released in the New Year to banish those January blues 💙
Should access to an unpolluted night sky be a human right? I’m really looking forward to being part of this amazing panel discussion in a few days! #CommonsInSpace #darksky #protectthenight #nightskyconnectedness #nature
