Tonight's sky above Elverum, Innlandet, Norway
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Elverum, Innlandet, Norway comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Elverum
Northern high latitudes · northern hemisphere · 197 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 60.9° above the horizon, so stars within 61° of it never set from here.
- About 93.7% 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 0.1° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 197 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
- Above 61° the observing year is strongly seasonal: mid-summer nights may never reach astronomical darkness, while mid-winter delivers very long dark windows.
Elverum is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

A 99%-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.
- 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour
Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Elverum, Innlandet, Norway. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-09 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Elverum, Innlandet, Norway.
