Twinkle, Twinkle

How many stars can you see where you live on a clear night? That's what CPRE and the Campaign for Dark Skies want your help with.

Between Monday 31st January - Sunday 6th February they would like you to count all the stars that you can see in a certain part of the sky.

Results of this survey will help determine where light pollution is spoiling the natural beauty of the night sky.
