Sydney's Palm Beach headland has been recognised for its night sky beauty, with DarkSky International officially designating it an Urban Night Sky Place .
One of Sydney's most recognisable lighthouses will be home to the first officially recognised city-based stargazing zone in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2018, Northern Beaches local Marnie Ogg proposed to Northern Beaches Council to have the headland recognised as an Urban Dark Sky Place.She says the area stands out for being so close to the city while being surrounded by large national parks and the sea.
The DarkSky organisation now recognises 10 locations as Urban Night Sky Places, most of which are in the Midwest and South-west United States. Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said it is important to protect the ability to see the stars as cities expand and light pollution increases.
