Field notes
The directory groups dark-sky parks, preserves, and lodging with event dates and trip-planning links. Its state-law section says it tracks all 50 states, D.C., and Canadian provinces, separating statewide rules, municipal shielding rules, and jurisdictions with no law yet. A browser-based moon panel offers location-specific moonrise, moonset, and illumination; the page says location stays in the browser, though those values were still shown as “Calculating” in this capture.
