Local sky character in Sapucaia do Sul
Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 59 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 29.8° above the horizon, so stars within 30° of it never set from here.
- About 74.9% 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 89.2° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 59 m elevation, roughly 1% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Sapucaia do Sul is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
