The Isle of Man is home to 26 Dark Sky Sites. These fantastic locations boast extremely low light pollution and enables visitors the opportunity to view spectacles such as the Milky Way galaxy and identify constellations with the naked eye. 

On occasion, when skies are particularly clear and there is a strong solar flare, it is possible to see the Aurora Borealis (otherwise known as The Northern Lights) from the Isle of Man. Sightings are often from the Northern and North-Westerly coastlines. The Aurora is visible to the naked eye, with more vivid colours taken by long-exposure photographs on camera.
