Tonight's sky above Guemueshane, Gümüşhane Province, Turkey
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Guemueshane, Gümüşhane Province, Turkey comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Guemueshane
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1180 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 40.5° above the horizon, so stars within 41° of it never set from here.
- About 82.4% 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 20.5° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 1180 m elevation, roughly 13% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Guemueshane is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
