Tonight's sky above Guantanamo, Guantánamo Province, Cuba
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Guantanamo, Guantánamo Province, Cuba comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Guantanamo
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 56 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 20.1° above the horizon, so stars within 20° of it never set from here.
- About 67.2% 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 40.9° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 0.2° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 56 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Guantanamo is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
