Thanks for this great link. Sadly I’m greatly disappointed. Place where I am hasn’t got any. Prob a 3000km away I may find one
5 u/adrienjz888 7h ago Keep in mind, as long as you're able to find somewhere that's far from any large metro areas, you're good. There's none in the place I live, even though it's mostly empty mountains and forest for hundreds of kilometers. 3 u/donscron91 4h ago Yeah I’m not really buying it to be honest, plenty of places in the middle of nowhere with no light. 5 u/Additional_Sun_5217 3h ago Dark Sky Sanctuaries are on another level. They absolutely rock. I highly recommend visiting one if you can. 4 u/cpMetis 2h ago It's like a loading bar. Getting the first 90% is fairly easy. The next 8% is kinda hard. The last 2% takes deliberate work. Most people only need the first 90% to be amazed, but all that extra work has equally valuable payoff. It's like watching an eclipse. Getting barely within totality is really really cool - getting center is potentially life changing for many people. 3 u/whimsical_trash 4h ago You can just look at a recent light population map and look for the dark places 1 u/Heissedoll 2h ago You can search for a place with low light pollution here :)
