Tonight's sky above Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste

Local sky character in Atsabe
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 1248 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 8.9° above the horizon, so stars within 9° of it never set from here.
- About 57.8% 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 69.9° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 29.2° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 1248 m elevation, roughly 14% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Atsabe is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

Your Sky Briefing
- Right now
- The sky is currently too bright for stargazing or aurora viewing.
- Tonight
- Cloud cover is the main factor limiting visibility tonight.
- Aurora
- Current geomagnetic activity (Kp 1.3, quiet) is not strong enough to bring the aurora to your latitude.
- Weather
- No significant rain, wind or temperature extremes are expected overnight.
Conditions tonight are mixed -- check the details below.
Best nights this month in Atsabe
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-11-09 — 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 Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste.
- 2026-11-17 — Leonids peak — up to 15/hour
Radiant in Leo. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 45% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
- 2026-11-24 — 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.
Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste stargazing questions
- What can I see in the sky tonight from Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste?
- Tonight from Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste expect a waning crescent Moon at 14% illumination, with these naked-eye planets above the horizon after dark: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Venus. The night offers about 9.1 hours of true astronomical darkness.
- What planets are visible tonight in Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste?
- Tonight in Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Venus are visible to the naked eye after dark, based on this location's real ephemeris for tonight.
- When does darkness start tonight in Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste?
- Astronomical darkness begins at 7:49 PM local time in Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste tonight, the moment the Sun drops more than 18° below the horizon and the sky becomes fully dark for faint-object observing.
- Can you see the aurora tonight in Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste?
- Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste is far enough from the pole that aurora only reaches overhead during a major geomagnetic storm — specifically when the planetary Kp index reaches about 9, a level reached only a handful of times per solar cycle.
- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste?
- Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste 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. These are typical ranges for this population size, not a measured reading for this exact spot — use tonight's Moon phase and the best-nights list above to time a visit away from direct lighting.
- Does Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste's elevation help stargazing?
- At 1248 m you are above a meaningful fraction of the atmosphere, which reduces extinction and scintillation — the reason major observatories are sited high.
- What should I plan for observing near Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste?
- High sites reward targets that suffer most from atmosphere: planets at high altitude, faint nebulae, and the Milky Way, which culminates around 69.9° here. Cold and thinner air are the practical constraints, not the sky.
- How dark does it actually get in Atsabe, Ermera, Timor Leste tonight?
- About 9.1 hours of astronomical darkness (Sun more than 18° below the horizon). That is the real observing window for faint objects; brighter targets are workable from dusk onward.
