Tonight's sky above Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

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

Local sky character in Navi Mumbai

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 14 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 19° above the horizon, so stars within 19° of it never set from here.
  • About 66.3% 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 42° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 1.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 14 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
