Local sky character in Cox's Bazar
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 2 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 21.4° above the horizon, so stars within 21° of it never set from here.
- About 68.3% 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 39.6° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 2 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Cox's Bazar is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
