The chairman of the Isle of Man Astronomical Society hopes the Island can become a tourist destination for stargazers.
Howard Parkin says we currently have seven sites with a dark-sky discovery status.
And he has applied for 13 more locations to qualify for the title.
Mr Parkin says astronomical visitors will benefit the whole economy:
Festival of Motoring 'dream rides' take place today
Cars will be on Douglas Promenade between 12pm and 3pm
Drop-in session offers support for households ahead of rising winter costs
Support service says finances will be stretched for some over the coming months
Number of bus services 'at risk' today
No reason given by Bus Vannin
Check in advance which polling stations are accessible
Voters can now use any in their constituency
