Boulder City's reading looks wrong, and this site says so rather than hide it

Boulder City's satellite reading came back at exactly zero, which is not a real measurement for a city of 15,029 people, it means the sample point most likely missed the lit part of town, landing on open water, a shadowed hillside, or just a bad coordinate. Real cities this size do not read true zero.

This is flagged instead of shown as a normal result because reporting it as "Boulder City's dark sky" would be reporting a data error as a fact, see the data quality guide for how this gets checked.
