Local sky character in Juankoski
Northern high latitudes · northern hemisphere · 85 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 63.1° above the horizon, so stars within 63° of it never set from here.
- About 94.6% 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 85 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
- Above 63° the observing year is strongly seasonal: mid-summer nights may never reach astronomical darkness, while mid-winter delivers very long dark windows.
Juankoski is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
