Local sky character in Mawlaik
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 129 m elevation

- About 70.1% 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 37.4° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 129 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Mawlaik is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
