Tonight's sky above Dusit, Bangkok, Thailand

Local sky character in Dusit
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 6 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 13.8° above the horizon, so stars within 14° of it never set from here.
- About 61.9% 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 47.2° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 6.5° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 6 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Dusit is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.

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.
Dusit, Bangkok, Thailand stargazing questions
- What can I see in the sky tonight from Dusit, Bangkok, Thailand?
- Tonight from Dusit, Bangkok, Thailand expect a new moon Moon at 0% illumination, with these naked-eye planets above the horizon after dark: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Mars. The night offers about 8.9 hours of true astronomical darkness.
- Can I see both northern and southern constellations from Dusit, Bangkok, Thailand?
- Yes — this is the real advantage of an equatorial location. At 13.8° N, about 61.9% of the entire celestial sphere rises at some point in the year, so Polaris-side constellations and the Southern Cross region are both reachable across the seasons.

- Are there seasons for stargazing in Dusit, Bangkok, Thailand?
- Night length barely changes at this latitude — twilight is short and the Sun sets steeply, so darkness arrives quickly all year. What changes is which part of the sky is on view after sunset, and, in monsoon-affected regions, how often the sky is clear at all.

- About 8.9 hours of astronomical darkness (Sun more than 18° below the horizon). That is the real observing window for faint objects; brighter targets are workable from dusk onward.
