AstronomyUkraine Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I came across this news article today. It looks very much like the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory was burnt to the ground, arson is suspected at the moment. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/dark-sky-observatory-ayrshire-burned-24380309?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
