Local sky character in Bulan
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 5 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 12.7° above the horizon, so stars within 13° of it never set from here.
- About 61% 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 48.3° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 7.6° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 5 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Bulan is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

A 99%-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.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Bulan, Bicol Region, Philippines. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 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 Bulan, Bicol Region, Philippines.

- Bulan, Bicol Region, Philippines 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 Bulan, Bicol Region, Philippines?
- Bulan, Bicol Region, Philippines 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.
- Can I see both northern and southern constellations from Bulan, Bicol Region, Philippines?
- Yes — this is the real advantage of an equatorial location. At 12.7° N, about 61% of the entire celestial sphere rises at some point in the year, so Polaris-side constellations and the Southern Cross region are both reachable across the seasons.
