Lowell, AR Night Sky Brightness
Lowell, AR: how dark is the sky here?
Lowell reads as suburban on this dataset's scale. Light dome dominates much of the sky. Only the brightest stars and planets stand out clearly. Only 80.8% of the 3,206 cities measured here read darker than Lowell.
This comes from a satellite measuring light radiating upward, not a person's eyes on the ground, so it isn't the same as a Bortle class, though the two track each other closely - see the Bortle scale guide for where they can disagree.
