Local sky character in Hpakan
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 275 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 25.6° above the horizon, so stars within 26° of it never set from here.
- About 71.6% 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 35.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 275 m elevation, roughly 3% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Hpakan is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
