Tonight's sky above Kalawit, Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Kalawit, Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Kalawit
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 5 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 8.1° above the horizon, so stars within 8° of it never set from here.
- About 57% 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 52.9° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 12.2° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 5 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Kalawit is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.

Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Kalawit, Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.
- 2026-11-08 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Kalawit, Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines.

- What is the stargazing light pollution level in Kalawit, Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines?
- Kalawit, Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines is a small town — typically Bortle class 1–4 (rural to excellent dark sky), where the Milky Way is usually visible on clear, moonless nights away from local lighting.
