Why Møn and Nyord?

Previous Next

Long ago, under the Milky Way's eternal circle across the night sky, the white chalk cliffs of Møn were formed.

70 million years later, the white chalk and the brilliant Milky Way are still visible on Møn.

We have all heard of the Milky Way, but how many have seen the real Milky Way? Due to light pollution, the Milky Way is in most places in Denmark and the Western world in general, just a shadow of itself.

From Møn and Nyord, the Milky Way is still seen as the luminous band of stars that stretches from horizon to horizon on late summer nights and autumn evenings. The Milky Way has always been visible from Earth, as it is the galaxy that the Earth and the Sun were born in and belong to.

The dinosaurs that lived when the chalk that forms the foundation of Møn was formed had a Milky Way that is just as clear and brilliant as we can see from Møn and Nyord today.
