Tonight's sky above Santa Cruz del Sur, Camagüey, Cuba

Local sky character in Santa Cruz del Sur
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 2 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 20.7° above the horizon, so stars within 21° of it never set from here.
- About 67.7% 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 40.3° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 2 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
