Malta’s
Supermoon viewing night was declared an unqualified success by the Energy
Minister this morning. While citizens of
many countries across the world had their views of the extra-large moon
impaired by light pollution, the Maltese government solved this problem by
simply shutting off the power between 8 and 10 PM last night.
“We want to
emphasise Malta as a country of natural beauty”, read the statement from the Energy
Ministry, “and how better to do that than by switching off all the lights,
mela. Maltese and foreign tourists were
able to enjoy the fantastic Supermoon as nature intended, and will have
beautiful photos that will last a lifetime.
As long as they remembered to charge their cameras earlier in the day.”
