Tonight's sky above Rabor, Kerman, Iran

Local sky character in Rabor
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 2331 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 29.3° above the horizon, so stars within 29° of it never set from here.
- About 74.5% 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 31.7° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 2331 m elevation, roughly 24% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Rabor is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
Best nights this month in Rabor
Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.
- 2026-08-12 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Rabor, Kerman, Iran.
- 2026-08-12 — Perseids peak — up to 100/hour
Radiant in Perseus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Rabor, Kerman, Iran. The Moon is 2% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is none.
- 2026-08-27 — Full Moon
A 100%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.
