Local sky character in Esquina

Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 44 m elevation

  • The south celestial pole stands 30° above the horizon, so stars within 30° of it never set from here.
  • About 75% 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 89° up, passing almost directly overhead.
  • The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
  • At 44 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
