Tonight's sky above Aguilar, Ilocos, Philippines

Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Aguilar, Ilocos, Philippines comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.

Local sky character in Aguilar

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 12 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 15.9° above the horizon, so stars within 16° of it never set from here.
  • About 63.7% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
  • The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 45.1° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 4.4° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 12 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
