Tonight's sky above Aracagi, Paraíba, Brazil

Local sky character in Aracagi
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 53 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 6.9° above the horizon, so stars within 7° of it never set from here.
- About 56% 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 67.9° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 27.2° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 53 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Aracagi is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

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 Aracagi, Paraíba, Brazil.

- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Aracagi, Paraíba, Brazil?
- Aracagi, Paraíba, Brazil is a small town — typically Bortle class 1–4 (rural to excellent dark sky), where the Milky Way is usually visible on clear, moonless nights away from local lighting.
