Tonight's sky above Uusikaupunki, Southwest Finland, Finland
Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Uusikaupunki, Southwest Finland, Finland comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.
Local sky character in Uusikaupunki
Northern high latitudes · northern hemisphere · 16 m elevation
- The north celestial pole stands 60.8° above the horizon, so stars within 61° of it never set from here.
- About 93.6% 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 0.2° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
- At 16 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
- Above 61° the observing year is strongly seasonal: mid-summer nights may never reach astronomical darkness, while mid-winter delivers very long dark windows.
Uusikaupunki is small enough that local light domes are limited — on a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is realistically within reach.
