Rum’s Dazzling Dark Skies, funded by a grant from the Royal Astronomical Society, reveals the journey of how the #IsleOfRum became the first place in #Scotland to achieve #DarkSky Sanctuary status: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5uXMnVKhvY - see also https://darksky.org/places/isle-of-rum/ and https://ras.ac.uk/news-and-press/news/watch-new-film-explores-how-rum-became-uks-second-dark-sky-sanctuary and https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2024/oct/24/stargazing-isle-of-rum-scotland-hebrides-dark-sky-sanctuary

Somewhat shaky proof that the skies above over the International #DarkSky Community MŸn and Nyord - https://darksky.org/places/mon-and-nyord-dark-sky-community/ - are good indeed: out of cam vertical 60 seconds f/2.8 shot at ISO 1600 (camera lying on an unstable table) from a place between Elmelunde and NŸrreby, still no sky background appearing. The SQM reading in the zenith was consistently 21.7 mag./sq.arcsec.

Reminders that you are in an International #DarkSky Community (for 9 years now) pop up in numerous places on MŸn and neighboring Nyord: an exhibit at the GeoCenter MŸns Klint - https://moensklint.dk/en/ - and a sign at the Nature Center Hyldevang on Nyord.

What they brew in the International #DarkSky Community MŸn, Denmark ... 9% astronomy fun. (Run the black text through Google Lens for that beer's story.)
