Local sky character in Lewe
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 111 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 19.6° above the horizon, so stars within 20° of it never set from here.
- About 66.8% 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 41.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 0.7° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 111 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Lewe is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
