Light Pollution Map
Using Google Earth and North American Light Pollution Map overlay

| Notes: |
This is an aerial view of the southern California and portions of Nevada, Arizona, and Utah using Google Earth. The large white area below and left of center is greater Los Angeles. I live just outside LA county in San Bernardino county. Even though downtown Los Angeles is a good 40 miles away, the urban sprawl of Los Angeles means that the light pollution encompasses huge areas. To get decently dark skies requires at least a 1 hour drive from home; two hours is better... and there will still be a considerable light dome. See the the next map for a zoomed in view of the area around our house.
