Local sky character in Revuca

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 318 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 48.7° above the horizon, so stars within 49° of it never set from here.
  • About 87.6% 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 12.3° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 318 m elevation, roughly 4% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
