Dark Sky Map is a web site and mobile app that helps you discover and share the best places to observe the night sky. You can search by city, country, or region, and get detailed information on light pollution, human footprint, weather, and astronomical sites.
The light pollution map has two base layers (road and hybrid Bing maps), VIIRS/World Atlas/Clouds/Aurora overlays and a point feature overlay (SQM, SQC and Observatories). If you want detailed analysis of radiance (VIIRS/DMSP) changes over a period of time, then please use the Lighttrends web application(not mobile optimised).
