Local sky character in Jimaguayu
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 117 m elevation

- About 68.1% 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 39.8° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 117 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Jimaguayu is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
