Tonight's sky above Moguer, Andalusia, Spain

Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Moguer, Andalusia, Spain comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.

Local sky character in Moguer

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 54 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 37.3° above the horizon, so stars within 37° of it never set from here.
  • About 80.3% 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 23.7° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 54 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
