Tonight's sky above Eenhana, Ohangwena Region, Namibia

Local sky character in Eenhana
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 1122 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 17.5° above the horizon, so stars within 18° of it never set from here.
- About 65% 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 78.5° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 37.8° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 1122 m elevation, roughly 12% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Eenhana is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
