Local sky character in Jesus Maria

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 2096 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 20.6° above the horizon, so stars within 21° of it never set from here.
  • About 67.6% 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 40.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • At 2096 m elevation, roughly 22% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
