Local sky character in Tel Aviv
Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 15 m elevation

- About 76.6% 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 28.9° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 15 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
With a population above one million, Tel Aviv produces significant sky glow: expect the Moon, planets and bright stars from the centre, and travel outward for the Milky Way.
