- Perseid meteor shower 12/08/2020 at 13:13 – 14:13 Coinciding with a return to starry skies in northern Britain is the Perseids Meteor Shower, which peaks overnight on 12/13 August. The waning moon rises late so hopefully we will see plenty of shooting stars. Best viewed from a dark location. Recent showers have been excellent so it is one to look out for. https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20200812_10_100

- Neptune at its best 11/09/2020 at 20:10 – 21:10 You will need binos or a telescope to see it, but Neptune is at its best. It's 2.6billion miles away so will look fairly star-like and blue/green in colour. . https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20200911_12_100

I got interest in Dark Skies out of a concern about excessive LED streelighting in my area, and sone evidence of effects on human health, including MY health. I also think darker skies would encourage people to stop living in fear of crime, which is still sometimes exaggerated, and of course, I love sharing all aspects of nature with new friends, including the stars. Here is a report from CNN you should read. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/16/health/blue-light-led-health-effects-bn-trnd/index.html
