Local sky character in Lajosmizse

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 132 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 47° above the horizon, so stars within 47° of it never set from here.
  • About 86.6% 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 14° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 132 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
