Local sky character in El Eulma
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 959 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 36.2° above the horizon, so stars within 36° of it never set from here.
- About 79.5% 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 24.8° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 959 m elevation, roughly 11% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
El Eulma is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
