I wonder where the most dark, least light polluted location on earth is. I guess it's out on the ocean somewhere and not optimal for stargazing.


There are maps online [1],[2] that you can use. Oceans and deserts are the darkest, but national parks and sparsly populated areas are also a good choice. Of course, most of the time there’s nothing ‘nearby’ as population centers are always well lit.
