- An island in north Wales has been officially recognised for having one of the best night skies in the world.
Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island), off the Llŷn Peninsula, has become the first site in Europe to be awarded International Dark Sky Sanctuary certification.
It joins 16 other sites worldwide recognised as the most remote and dark places on earth.
The trust which owns the island said it was a "huge achievement".

Great to see Welsh with subtitles on BBC news
I can’t even imagine how brilliant it would be because I went camping out on an Iowa farm and woke up in the middle of the night I came out of the tent and was almost blown away by the way the sky looked it was no longer flat but curved round, you could see the curve In the night sky and the stars it was absolutely unbelievable it almost felt like you traveled back in time and was standing at the beginning of time. So I don’t know what it would look like if it was even darker. I was born and raised in the city and had never seen the night sky look like that.
We have nine locations in the U.S. if you want to go to one
Pleasant and impressive memory of the sky, there was still no visual pollution, the "milky way", in all its splendor, looked like a "diamond waterfall". It hurts in the soul that today, barely the moon shines in the sky. Greetings from Medellin. Colombia 🇨🇴
What about the dark ski in Ohio ?
Great !
People should individually take responsibility to keep the nights dark.
I m from Belgium and the light pollution is horrible here. And nobody seems to care...
Wow! I've never heard of this but it's a great concept
Want dark sky? Come to Iceland in the winter. You are never sure if your eyes are open or closed.😊
🤣🤣🤣especially if you watch the semi-finals of Söngvakeppnin
Na
I would love to go to Iceland
Great coverage of a really important story! Thank you.
Fairly certain that Sark was the first 'dark sky' island in Europe, over 10 years ago.
@ERF ahh I see, thanks for clarifying!
I grew up on a farm it was quiet and I liked to go out at night lying on my back and looking at the sky and gazing at the stars and with my job I had to move to town and one night I remember I I was on the balcony it was 4am and I noticed there wasn't a single second of silence. If it wasn't a passing car it was an ambulance siren or the police, firefighters, a factory, people, I f***g miss my little piece of peace.
I will visit that place at dark sky times and take in the views. Lovely
Wow fantastic this sky dark 😮
@mybeautifullife4169 hi ☺
The mysterious and primitive side of the earth is transmitted
Finally some good news from Wales 🏴 👍
This just shows how messed up the world is, the fact that we have to go to certain places to see the night sky as it really is 😕
Welsh island named first 'Dark Sky Sanctuary' in Europe - BBC News 1246pm 25.2.23 there used to be such places in the lake district wherein you could see vast tracts of celestial bodies in the night sky. dont know if that's the case now.. but i'd head up there if you wanna get a gander at some decent vistas...
* Goes to the island *
"Hello darkness my old friend."
Isn’t Sark in the Channel Islands also recognized as a Dark Sky Sanctuary since 2011?
No. Sark is a Dark Sky Community
No
Can anybody name the wonderful music that accompanies this video clip please?
Good News , Love BBC world services. Superlative.
Very nice.
My supermarket is a 30 mile roundtrip and almost everyone is visually similar.....does that count?
That is so handy ,trios of people will probably share a fiat punto and head down there
OHHHH!!!
It's dark enough, such you can see the starlink satellites in the clear evening after sunset or morning pre dawn skies, all those little satellites in their orbits overhead.
Darkness I have ever come across. This is darkness overpowering light
Πολύ ωραίο βίντεο!!!Να είστε πάντα καλά με υγεία!!!Ο Χριστός μαζί μας!!!+++🛐☦️💒🇬🇷🙋🤍👋🌹👍
Social influencers, let me write this down. I need to get that insta banger.
They should ban all outdoor lights like during the war.
I am a beginner RUclipsr and would really appreciate any advice on how I can improve my videos.
Get a job
There’s a channel called “Start the You Tube Channel” that offers all kinds of great advice on how to start your channel. It’s free and has lots of great info. Best of luck to you! 😊
....like Enya's album
dark sky island!, that song always reminds me of ynis enlli, maybe she had been there, once.
Darkness is as important for as light for plants, animals and humans.
You are my crush among all the others❤️❤️❤️❤️
These people get more bonkers by the hour.
If Starmer gets his way with renewables the entire UK will be a Dark Sky Sanctuary.
You took the words out of my mouth
Ah I the old “ I’m here for the working class “ communist ploy!
As opposed to the Conservatives getting their own way (which they do) and us ending up with 'dark' waters? 💩💩
because before bbc there was dark age
dw i’n hapus! dw i’n caru cymru 🏴
sometime in the near future the sun will send us one hell of a solar flare and dark sky will be everywhere :)
ENYA sang it Best...lol
Apart from when the sun is out.👍
Good. It is a disgrace the amount of awful artificial lighting there is.
We are all in the dark with the so called economic crisis 😂
Tidy
Forgive my ignorance, but is it common to have Welsh people that only speak Welsh? I always thought that all Welsh people spoke English primarily, but Welsh was like a side language that they spoke at home.
No. Welsh is the primary language in many social and work situations. My education was until the age of 18 through the Welsh language and not English. It wasn't until I went to university that I first experienced only using English. There is no such thing as a 'side language'.
Most people in Wales only spoke Welsh 100 years ago, but the last monoglot Welsh speakers died in the 1980s. Most people in Wales today can speak English too, but Welsh is not a “side language”, for half a million of us, it’s our mother language.
Thank you both for answering! I meant no disrespect referring to Welsh as a "side language" i just meant something spoken at home mostly and not used as a primary language.
way out there, at the tip of the llyen peninsular, welsh is everyone's first language, but they can speak english too.
@@0xmoo it’s not dying, but it’s not as spoken as it once was. I’m in my early twenties and I still speak it on a daily basis, as do many others.
Not many welsh people “hate” English people, also we were punished for speaking Welsh for centuries.
Obviously these people have never been on Saddleworth moor at night.
H3ll Nooo, I will not be taking my asx no where near that dark, evil place, but I bet a lot of you will get tricked over there, because it sounds innocent, its alluring right?? 🌑 The adversaries will not trick me into some dark, demon:c remote place that has basically zero light, meaning no enLIGHTenment, just evil, wickedness!!
I'll take Day Sky's full of SUNLIGHT and wisdom for eternity. 🌞👁
i can assure you there is nothing remotely evil about beautiful ynis enlli. it was a place of pilgrimage for monks, many who were buried there, giving it the title "isle of a thousand saints". there is a ruined abby ,there, & it was proclaimed by the catholic church that 3 pilgrimages to ynis enlli equalled one pilgrimage to rome. even today, it has a beautiful, holy atmosphire, you can tell that it is a very special place, blessed by God & all of his saints, who took pilgrimages there.
@@ayounglivelysoulinanoldtir3512 well you go there, I’m good in a place that’s full of light, where the sun doesn’t go down. ENJOY!!!
@@amiyah5834 maybe you are a city dweller, who has never seen how spectacular a natural, un light poluted night sky can be. when you are gazeing out into a realy dark, night sky, you are gazeing at a vast, celestial panorama, covering thousands of light years of space. every one of those stars is a sun, some of them of modest size, like ours, some hundreds of times bigger than our sun!. some of those suns have planets revolving around them, like our sun has, & some of those planets might be beautiful worlds, teaming with life, there may even be inteligent beings on some of them , with thei'r own, fascinating civilizations & cultures. because to look out into a dark, night sky, is to be looking out at a big chunk of the universe, & to marvel at God's awesome creation! astronomy is the most nobel of the sciences, because astronomers are admireing what God has created &, unlike other forms of science, are doing nothing to try to control, change, polute, or destroy it.
@@ayounglivelysoulinanoldtir3512 BYE!!! No one is stopping you!! Therefore ENJOY your dark sky sanctuary. We all have a choice, I choose light and you chose darkness. Carry on!!
@@amiyah5834 well, don't get me wrong, here, i enjoy a lovely, sunny day, as much as anyone, but i know that, by gazeing into the night sky, i am able to see & admire thousands of light years of god's creation, not just a few miles of it. anyway, sadly, i am not able to visit the island, these days, as my brother no longer owns a car, i never learned to drive, & getting to that aria of wales is virtualy impossible, if you don't have you'r own transport, so farewell, city Boy.
Pakistan day night firing we can not good sleep . because hare a special nation . no any system no justice no work no light .no leadership . no life here .
I bet you do
So others can’t see what your doing to your sheep
