Astronomy
While the Hebrides are known for
their tempermental weather conditions, when the skies are clear, they
are exceptional for their viewing of the heavens. This is due to
the scouring from the atmosphere of mainland haze and pollution by the
North Atlantic winds. This page is dedicated to links concerning
astronomy and the Hebrides-and what can be seen from the Isle of Jura,
of course!
