Tonight's sky above Guiuan, Eastern Visayas, Philippines

Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Guiuan, Eastern Visayas, Philippines comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.

Local sky character in Guiuan

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 5 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 11° above the horizon, so stars within 11° of it never set from here.
  • About 59.6% 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° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 9.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 5 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.

Night length barely changes at this latitude — twilight is short and the Sun sets steeply, so darkness arrives quickly all year. What changes is which part of the sky is on view after sunset, and, in monsoon-affected regions, how often the sky is clear at all.
