Local sky character in Puerto Suarez
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 218 m elevation
- The south 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 80° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 39.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 218 m elevation, roughly 3% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Puerto Suarez is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
