Scientists Pick Best Island for Star-Gazing

Aspiring astronomers and other stargazers may want to consider a trip to Sark, an island in the English Channel. It's been designated the world's first "dark-sky island"—a place with no light pollution, the Huffington Post reports. Sark, which measures just a few square miles, has no street lights, paved roads, or even cars. The International Dark-Sky Association, a group of astronomers, handed out the honor. They had previously declared Flagstaff, Arizona, the first "dark-sky city."
