Local sky character in Darb-e Behesht
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 2633 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 29.2° above the horizon, so stars within 29° of it never set from here.
- About 74.4% 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 31.8° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 2633 m elevation, roughly 27% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Darb-e Behesht is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-08-13 — Darkest night of the coming month

- 2026-08-28 — Full Moon
A 100%-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.
Darb-e Behesht, Kerman, Iran stargazing questions
- What can I see in the sky tonight from Darb-e Behesht, Kerman, Iran?
