Star Count Results out now

The results are in for this year’s Star Count with a total of almost 4,000 counts!

The data shows that, unfortunately, light pollution is obscuring views of the night sky for the majority of people. This was a truly nationwide count with results submitted from all over the UK.

The headlines:

• 75% counted stars in areas with the worst three categories of light pollution.
• 51% counted ten stars or fewer, indicating severe light pollution.
• Just 5% counted more than 30 stars, indicating truly dark skies.
