Local sky character in Curitiba
Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 924 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 25.4° above the horizon, so stars within 25° of it never set from here.
- About 71.5% 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 86.4° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 924 m elevation, roughly 10% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
With a population above one million, Curitiba produces significant sky glow: expect the Moon, planets and bright stars from the centre, and travel outward for the Milky Way.
