Hawaii State Parks

Hawaii

We previously did an article on the 2024 solar eclipse for the Hawaii 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 Hawaii in regards to light pollution and astronomy.

Level 6 Bortle Scale State Parks3

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. Hawaii State Parks can be found here.
