Tonight's sky above Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Aleppo
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 401 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 36.2° above the horizon, so stars within 36° of it never set from here.
- About 79.5% 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 24.8° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 401 m elevation, roughly 5% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
With a population above one million, Aleppo produces significant sky glow: expect the Moon, planets and bright stars from the centre, and travel outward for the Milky Way.
