Sark, one of the Channel Islands, has no cars or street lights, making its
dark nights ideal for stargazing.

On a cloud-free evening, an explosion of stars and streaking meteors can be
seen against the backdrop of the Milky Way, twinkling from one horizon to
the other on the tiny island of Sark. One of the Channel Islands, Sark is
located 80 miles (129 km) off of England's south coast. In 2011, the
International Dark-Sky Association recognized the exceptional nighttime
blackness of this Channel Island community as the world's first "dark sky
island."
