Local sky character in Amman
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 757 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 32° above the horizon, so stars within 32° of it never set from here.
- About 76.5% 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 29° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 757 m elevation, roughly 9% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
With a population above one million, Amman produces significant sky glow: expect the Moon, planets and bright stars from the centre, and travel outward for the Milky Way.
