Tonight's sky above Badak, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Philippines

Local sky character in Badak
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 11 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 6.8° 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 54.2° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 13.5° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 11 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Badak is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Badak, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Philippines?
