Tonight's sky above Sa'dah, Şa‘dah, Yemen

Above Sa'dah, Şa‘dah, Yemen tonight, the sky is a live system: the Moon's illumination, which planets have cleared the horizon, and whether Earth's magnetosphere is quiet or churning all change hour by hour.

Local sky character in Sa'dah

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 1876 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 16.9° above the horizon, so stars within 17° of it never set from here.
  • About 64.6% 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 44.1° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 3.4° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 1876 m elevation, roughly 20% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
