Tonight's sky above Campos Gerais, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Campos Gerais, Minas Gerais, Brazil comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Campos Gerais
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 840 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 21.2° above the horizon, so stars within 21° of it never set from here.
- About 68.1% 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 82.2° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 840 m elevation, roughly 9% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Campos Gerais is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
