The Queensland town of Winton has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community.

The town has committed to managing its light pollution and installed warm bulbs in its streetlights.

Winton Shire Council and tourism operators believe the certification will attract stargazers wanting to experience the natural night sky.

    Ah that’s too bad. Some other user here posted a picture of a light pollution map which you can easily find online. You could use it if you are looking for a vacation spot in the future.

    It’s truly a sight.
