Tonight's sky above Andradas, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Local sky character in Andradas

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 905 m elevation

  • The south celestial pole stands 22.1° above the horizon, so stars within 22° of it never set from here.
  • About 68.8% 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 83.1° up, passing almost directly overhead.
  • The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
  • At 905 m elevation, roughly 10% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.

Best nights this month in Andradas

Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.

  • 2026-10-21 — Orionids peak — up to 20/hour

    Radiant in Orion. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 72% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.

  • 2026-10-25 — Full Moon

    A 100%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.

  • 2026-11-08 — Darkest night of the coming month

    The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Andradas, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
