Tonight's sky above Guarenas, Miranda, Venezuela
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Guarenas, Miranda, Venezuela comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Guarenas
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 361 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 10.5° above the horizon, so stars within 11° of it never set from here.
- About 59.1% 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 50.5° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 9.8° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 361 m elevation, roughly 4% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Guarenas is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
