In 1994, after a pre-dawn earthquake cut power to most of Los Angeles, the Griffith Observatory received phone calls from frightened local people asking about “the strange sky”. What those callers were seeing were stars. Darkness is a complicated thing to measure. In 2001, the amateur astronomer John Bortle designed a scale to help. His classification range from “inner-city sky” (class 9), in which the only “pleasing views seen through a telescope are the moon, the planets, and a few of the brightest star clusters (团)”, to a sky so dark “the Milky Way casts obvious shadows on the ground” (class 1). Most North Americans and Europeans live under class 6 or 7 skies, in which the Milky Way is undetectable. In that kind of night, a person can wander outside, unfold a garden chair, open a newspaper, and read the headlines, if not the stories. In addition to the Bortle scale, scientists often use photodiode light sensors (传感器）to measure and compare base levels of darkness.

According to that database, Cherry Springs State Park—a
