Local sky character in Medenine
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 90 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 33.4° above the horizon, so stars within 33° of it never set from here.
- About 77.5% 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 27.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 90 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Medenine is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
