The Queensland town of Winton has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community.

The town has committed to managing its light pollution and installed warm bulbs in its streetlights.

Winton Shire Council and tourism operators believe the certification will attract stargazers wanting to experience the natural night sky.

    They are allowed now. I’m pretty sure Audi uses them in the us, and Tesla enabled theirs a year or so ago.

    While I don’t entirely trust them, a lot of the time it’s pretty clear. You can watch an oncoming car with a dark spot around it, moving with the car

      Are they? No way, that’s cool. And yeah, I have seen videos of them in action, it’s pretty neat.
