Local sky character in Lajeado

Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 812 m elevation

  • The south celestial pole stands 23.5° above the horizon, so stars within 24° of it never set from here.
  • About 70% 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 84.5° up, passing almost directly overhead.
  • The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
  • At 812 m elevation, roughly 9% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
