Local sky character in Borzna

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 133 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 51.3° above the horizon, so stars within 51° of it never set from here.
  • About 89% 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 9.7° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 133 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
