Frequently asked questions

Where are the darkest skies in Florida?
The darkest town tracked here is Keystone, but the genuinely dark skies in Florida are its 2 certified International Dark Sky Places — Big Cypress National Preserve, Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park — listed further down with the nearest rated town to each.
How many dark-sky towns does Florida have?
Of 339 towns rated here, 3 rate as genuinely dark or rural sky (about Bortle 4 or better) — good for seeing the Milky Way on a clear, moonless night.
How are these light-pollution ratings measured?
From VIIRS 2024 annual-average satellite night-lights, sampled at each town's center and mapped to a darkness class and an estimated Bortle band. It is a satellite upward-radiance proxy for planning, not a survey-grade sky-brightness reading. See the methodology page for details.
