Local sky character in Greve
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 3 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 55.6° above the horizon, so stars within 56° of it never set from here.
- About 91.2% 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 5.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 3 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Greve is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
