Local sky character in Najafgarh
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 215 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 28.6° above the horizon, so stars within 29° of it never set from here.
- About 73.9% 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 32.4° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 215 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
With a population above one million, Najafgarh produces significant sky glow: expect the Moon, planets and bright stars from the centre, and travel outward for the Milky Way.
