Russian astronauts on the international space station claim they are being
dazzled by lights from Britain's tallest parish church. Cosmonauts
orbiting the earth have complained their view of Northern Europe at night
is being blinded by the brilliant beams illuminating the Boston Stump in
Lincolnshire. The Stump, the Church of St Botolph's 272-foot-tall tower,
dominates Boston and the flat surrounding countryside and can be seen from
Lincoln 35 miles away. But now it appears its can also be seen from space
as the glare from the six high -powered floodlights reflects into the
atmosphere.
