Local sky character in Hwangju-up
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 23 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 38.7° above the horizon, so stars within 39° of it never set from here.
- About 81.2% 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 22.3° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 23 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Hwangju-up is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
