Local sky character in Divinopolis

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 747 m elevation

  • The south celestial pole stands 20.1° above the horizon, so stars within 20° of it never set from here.
  • About 67.2% 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 81.1° up, passing almost directly overhead.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 40.4° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 747 m elevation, roughly 8% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
