Kenya launched a new "astro-tourism" initiative during a "blood moon" lunar eclipse, promoting its night skies to attract more visitors. The event took place in Samburu county, hundreds of miles from Nairobi, with local dancers and tourists gazing through telescopes.

• Tourism accounts for almost 10% of Kenya's GDP.
• The deputy director of Space Research and Innovation, Jacques Matara, from the Kenya Space Agency, believes astro-tourism could be "game-changing."
• Kenya boasts some of the lowest light pollution levels globally, according to the Bortle dark-sky scale.
• Visitors like Stella-Maris Miriti and Maggie Debbe were captivated by the experience.
