Local sky character in Espirito Santo do Dourado
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 910 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 22° above the horizon, so stars within 22° of it never set from here.
- About 68.8% 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 83° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 910 m elevation, roughly 10% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Espirito Santo do Dourado is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
