Stargazing is returning to the North York Moors national park this week as the Dark Skies Fringe Festival takes place.
There are a range of in person and online events taking place over the half term week.
Amateur astronomer, Richard Darns, says it's a great time of year for peering into the cosmos:
The park has recently been designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve.
Richard says it's amazing what you can see when you get away from our towns and villages:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
