Things are looking up on the downs as stargazers across Sussex turn their eyes to the heavens for February’s Dark Skies Festival. This two-week celebration of all things celestial takes you on a journey to the moon and planets, there’s a Facebook Live session and even an astrophotography masterclass. Back down on terra firma, the local wildlife gets a look in as well as we find out which animals come out to play in the dark.
