Dark Sky Site
Mooragh Park Promenade is also registered as a Dark Skies Site and an Interpretation Board ensures that visitors can fully enjoy the stunning stargazing on offer.
The Island is ideally placed to see the magnificent sight of the Northern Lights on many occasions. The Northern lights are normally only seen from Northerly locations such as Alaska, Norway and Iceland, however the crystal clear Northern horizon from the Islands North eastern coast means this fascinating phenomenon can often be seen from the Island. The Manx Night sky is an amazing experience that will astound even the most experienced stargazer.
