i kinda like how the west is like this archipelago of major metro areas
There’s a 127 mile stretch of Nevada heading into Southern California that’s a state park with literally no anything, not even gas stations. It is the single darkest place I’ve ever gone outside of my own head.
I would like to have seen Montana
Now show it with Alaska
The little blip in the middle of Lake Michigan is Beaver Island, and it’s crazy the amount of stars you can see. Visited and couldn’t believe it.
A map like this always melts my brain. I’m from a small southern town, yet it’s still urban enough to show up red on this map while still pretty damn zoomed out. The places we in turn considered podunk are green or little pockets of blue. That’s a trip. I mean, I know the country west of the Mississippi is significantly less densely populated than the east, but a map like this *really* drives it home.
If you want to see the very clear sky, then Alaska is your best choice. But unfortunately, it’s not shown here.
You can see i15 from the Salt Lake City area down to Vegas with just a bunch of dark shit around it lol
I went stargazing just outside of Sedona, Arizona years ago and it was incredible
