Tonight's sky above Haemeenlinna, Kanta-Häme, Finland

Haemeenlinna, Kanta-Häme, Finland's sky tonight is a real, computable state — every value on this page comes from live NOAA space weather data, live orbital elements for the ISS, and astronomy-engine's ephemeris for the Sun, Moon, and planets.

Local sky character in Haemeenlinna

Northern high latitudes · northern hemisphere · 83 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 61° above the horizon, so stars within 61° of it never set from here.
  • About 93.7% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
  • The Galactic Centre never rises from this latitude, so the brightest stretch of the Milky Way stays permanently below the horizon.
  • At 83 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
  • Above 61° the observing year is strongly seasonal: mid-summer nights may never reach astronomical darkness, while mid-winter delivers very long dark windows.

    Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Haemeenlinna, Kanta-Häme, Finland. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.

  • 2026-11-09 — Darkest night of the coming month
