Tonight's sky above Pohja-Tallinn, Harjumaa, Estonia

Local sky character in Pohja-Tallinn
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 11 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 59.4° above the horizon, so stars within 59° of it never set from here.
- About 93.1% 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 1.6° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 11 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Pohja-Tallinn is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
