We previously did an article on the 2024 solar eclipse for the Delaware state parks, and figure that there is an amazing opportunity for mapping those state parks to their Bortle Scale values. With the help of https://www.lightpollutionmap.info, we created the following table to provide information about the entire state parks for Oklahoma in regards to light pollution and astronomy.
Item | How Many |
Number Of State Parks | 23 state parks |
Number of Different Bortle Scales | 5 |
Level 1 Bortle Scale State Parks | 0 |
Level 2 Bortle Scale State Parks | 0 |
Level 3 Bortle Scale State Parks | 0 |
Level 4 Bortle Scale State Parks | 10 |
Level 5 Bortle Scale State Parks | 7 |
Level 6 Bortle Scale State Parks | 3 |
Level 7 Bortle Scale State Parks | 2 |
Level 8 Bortle Scale State Parks | 1 |
Using the idea of mapping the state parks for the 2024 solar eclipse, we used the same process and added in the light pollution information. Delaware State Parks can be found here.
Map
Here is a show of the colors of the markers, to know how to read the map.
Color | Bortle Scale |
Black | Level 1 |
Dark Purple | Level 2 |
Blue | Level 3 |
Green | Level 4 |
Yellow | Level 5 |
