Tonight's sky above Trinidad, Beni Department, Bolivia

Local sky character in Trinidad

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · southern hemisphere · 155 m elevation

  • The south celestial pole stands 14.8° above the horizon, so stars within 15° of it never set from here.
  • About 62.8% 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 75.8° up, passing almost directly overhead.
  • The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 35.1° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
  • At 155 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.

  • 2026-10-25 — Full Moon

    A 99%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.

  • 2026-11-09 — Darkest night of the coming month

    The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Trinidad, Beni Department, Bolivia.
