Above Biao, Davao Region, Philippines tonight, the sky is a live system: the Moon's illumination, which planets have cleared the horizon, and whether Earth's magnetosphere is quiet or churning all change hour by hour.
Local sky character in Biao
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 189 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 7.2° above the horizon, so stars within 7° of it never set from here.
- About 56.2% 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 53.8° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 13.1° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 189 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Biao is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
