The Broads named third-best stargazing spot in UK

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 12:31 · Archive

The Broads National Park has been ranked the third-best stargazing spot in the UK, according to new research from AA Car Insurance. Only New Forest National Park and South Downs National Park ranked higher. The research evaluated each park based on light pollution, rainfall, cloud cover and air quality.

With the Taurid meteor showers, also known as Halloween 'Fireballs', visible from late October through November, and the Hunter's Moon on 26 October, stargazers are anticipating celestial displays. The recent partial solar eclipse has increased stargazing's popularity. Autumn offers the chance to enjoy the outdoors after dark, with some of the most memorable views available to the naked eye without specialist equipment.

Stargazing cruises hosted by science broadcaster and author Mark Thompson have been launched in Wroxham. Guests are welcomed aboard with a glass of mulled wine or cider before setting off into the darkness.
