Local sky character in Bauta

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 70 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 23° above the horizon, so stars within 23° of it never set from here.
  • About 69.5% 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 38° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • At 70 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
