Local sky character in Langsa
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 10 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 4.5° above the horizon, so stars within 5° of it never set from here.
- About 53.9% 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 56.5° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 15.8° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 10 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Langsa is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
