Beautiful night skies are hard to find these days, largely because of pollution. In Europe, Spain has become a favorite among so-called astro-tourists.

The stars have influenced human culture, religion and science for millennia. Yet increasing light pollution in capital cities and urban agglomerations has made it next to impossible to observe the night sky in many places. The majority of people in Europe are affected by this relatively new form of pollution. Those who do want to gaze at the stars often find that their best bet is Spain, which is attracting visitors from all over the world for this very reason. The night sky has become a cultural resource in the 21st century, making it an economic factor that may possibly even contribute to sustainable development. Our documentary ‘Astro-Tourism – Feeling the Universe’ takes us closer to the stars with spectacular images of the heavens.
