Tonight's sky above Manfalut, Asyut, Egypt

Local sky character in Manfalut
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 58 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 27.3° above the horizon, so stars within 27° of it never set from here.
- About 72.9% 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 33.7° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 58 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Manfalut is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.

- 2026-11-17 — Leonids peak — up to 15/hour
Radiant in Leo. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 45% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.
