Local sky character in Al Brouj

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 413 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 32.5° above the horizon, so stars within 33° of it never set from here.
  • About 76.9% 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 28.5° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 413 m elevation, roughly 5% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
