Tonight's sky above Sao Lourenco da Mata, Pernambuco, Brazil

Local sky character in Sao Lourenco da Mata
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 48 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 8° above the horizon, so stars within 8° of it never set from here.
- About 57% 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 69° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 28.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
- At 48 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Sao Lourenco da Mata is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
