  • About 88.7% 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 10.2° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 138 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
