Local sky character in Porto Seguro

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 4 m elevation

  • The south celestial pole stands 16.4° above the horizon, so stars within 16° of it never set from here.
  • About 64.2% 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 77.4° up, passing almost directly overhead.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 36.7° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 4 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
