New Jersey State Park Light Pollution Map

Wisconsin

As we previously did articles on the 2024 solar eclipse for the several 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 New Jersey in regards to light pollution and astronomy.
