Tonight's sky above Uluberiya, West Bengal, India
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Uluberiya, West Bengal, India comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Uluberiya
Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 10 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 22.5° above the horizon, so stars within 23° of it never set from here.
- About 69.1% 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 38.5° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
- At 10 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Uluberiya is a town-scale settlement, so the edge of the built-up area is often dark enough for the Milky Way on moonless nights.
