Close of an amateur astronomer taking a picture LEADIN: More than one-third of the world's population can no longer see the Milky Way at night time because of man-made lights.Among those missing out on awe-inspiring views: nearly 80 percent of North Americans and 60 percent of Europeans.These are the findings of a new global atlas of light pollution, recently published as part of a scientific paper. But remote rural areas far from areas of dense population are discovering the lucrative appeal of star light tourism. STORYLINE: More than four-fifths of the earth's population now live beneath skies polluted by artificial light, which blocks out the Milky Way for more than a third of them. That's according to recent research by the Light Pollution Science and Technology Institute in northern Italy and published in the journal Science Advances, research based on new satellite data and special software.The allure of space and the twinkling stars in the night sky has captivated mankind since prehistoric times. \"I started with a little telescope and I felt like a complete astronaut. When I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut and thanks to that telescope I fulfilled my dream. Even though I was not in a spacecraft, I was looking to what astronauts were seeing: all those stars, star clusters, nebula\", says an amateur astronomer Juan Fernandez. Fernandez started when he was six years old. Then he borrowed his neighbour's telescope and it took him 15 years to give it back. But as urban spaces grow, the corresponding increase in light pollution means that star gazing is not something many people can experience. Now dark skies or starlight tourism experiences are growing in popularity in Spain. 15 years ago a group of amateur astronomers began organizing themselves into an association and later decided to create a travel agency specialising in starlight tourism. 'Astroandalus' answers the increasing demand of people interested in observing their first star-studded night sky.Visitors travel to Andalucia from big cities like Madrid and Barcelona or Germany and France to enjoy night skies full of stars. From a shared experience to a romantic starlit dinner for two, 'Astroandalus also organises trips to Finland, Norway and Sweden to see the northern aurora borealis. Tourism is evolving and people are increasingly looking for an original experience explains Astroandalus' Jose Jimenez. \"People who are searching for starlight tourism is looking for a special kind of tourism. They do not just want to visit the places, they create a memory. Keep that souvenir of having experienced something original, something to tell about, something to remember. In that sense, we can offer complete experiences. Not just to enjoy the astronomical activity under a dark sky but also to keep the souvenir of a charming accommodation and the gastronomy and local natural and cultural heritage\". Spain's mild climate and cloud free skies make it perfect for dark skies tourism. The Sierra Morena, Catalonia valleys, \"asparagus valleys\" in La Rioja (Valleys of Leza, Jubera, Cidacos and Alhama),  and north mountains of Sierra de Gredos are certified Starlight Tourism Destinations by the Starlight Foundation, a non profit group created by the Astronomical Institute of the Canary Islands.This certification demonstrates the commitment to the protection of the night sky from light pollution and promoting astronomy. It is valid for five years and is supported by UNESCO, the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Starlight Tourism Destinations must prove the quality of its skies and the means to ensure their protection, but also they must have appropriate infrastructure: accommodation, telescopes, astronomical observatories and specialized instructors to guide novice astronmoners. Hotel owner Paco Sanchez, a keen amateur astronomer, built a private observatory in the roof, but he soon opened it to the public when he realised the demand. He says it has increased his business at his hotel located in rural central Spain two hours from Madrid by car. \"It's a high-quality tourism, from the intellectual and economy point of view, that now come here. Thanks to them, these villages' population is set. They do leave, they do not flee to the cities because here they do not have resources. In the other side, we achieve that this area is free of pollution\", says Sanchez. \"Light pollution is an excess of lighting that impede us to see the stars. Big cities cannot see the sky, even in the villages because of the silly lighting\", says Francisco Sanchez founder of Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC). \"So, in a (Starlight) tourism site that is protected. You can rest assure that you are going to see the sky, the planets and the stars\", adds Sanchez, also vice-president of Starlight Foundation. As the development of astro-tourism is very recent, tourist agencies do not have much data. However, according to Starlight Foundation, 200,000 people have visited el Teide Starlight destination in the Canary Island of Tenerife to participate in stargazing. ====Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com.
