Lyndon, KY: how dark is the sky here?

Lyndon reads as suburban on this dataset's scale. Light dome dominates much of the sky. Only the brightest stars and planets stand out clearly. That's brighter than 49.7% of the 3,206 US cities in this dataset.

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.

How far Lyndon is from a meaningfully darker sky

The closest place in this dataset with a meaningfully darker sky is New Albany, IN, roughly 13 miles away in a straight line, rated suburban edge. Road distance will be more.

New Albany, IN is itself still a measured city, not a designated dark-sky park, this only compares against the 3,206 places this dataset covers.
