Local sky character in Grenaa
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 5 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 56.4° above the horizon, so stars within 56° of it never set from here.
- About 91.7% 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 4.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 5 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Grenaa is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
