Tornado Alley (PROG)

[DesertDrifter]

There are several Dark Sky Sanctuaries and other designations for level of darkness around the world. I live next to one, and even though it is in a mostly unpopulated part of Nevada, it is not considered the darkest. The largest area of dark is an area in Texas.

The International Dark Sky Places (IDSP) program certifies communities, parks, and protected areas around the world that preserve and protect dark sites.
