Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. Writing in ' The Daily Mail', Damien Gayle reports that its deep, inky blackness punctuated by the dazzling sparkles of thousands of distant suns, the night sky over the Brecon Beacons has long mesmerised stargazers. Now the sky above the Welsh mountain range has won special protection to preserve it for future generations - becoming only the fifth place in the world to be saved from light pollution. The Beacons join Mont Megantic in Quebec, Canada, Exmoor National Park in Devon, Aoraki Mackenzie in New Zealand, and NambiRand Nature Reserve in Namibia as the few regions of nocturnal beauty to be granted the status. The Daily Mail - Brecon Beacons granted 'international dark sky reserve' status to save its incredible starry views from light pollutionI saw Eternity the other night, like a great ring of pure and endless light, all calm, as it was bright; and round it, time in hours, days, years. Driven by the spheres like a vast shadow moved; in which the world and all her train were hurled!
