Tonight's sky above Korop, Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine

Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Korop, Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.

Local sky character in Korop

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 131 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 51.6° above the horizon, so stars within 52° of it never set from here.
  • About 89.2% 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 9.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 131 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
