Tonight from Bangalore

Tonight in Bangalore, India, the sun sets at 18:35 local time and astronomical darkness — when even the faintest stars become visible — arrives at 19:47. The moon is in waxing gibbous phase, 91% illuminated. 6 major planets are above the horizon as night falls. Sunrise comes at 06:08.

At low latitude near the equator, night length is roughly constant year-round — about twelve hours regardless of season. Polaris sits roughly at this latitude above the northern horizon, making it a permanent compass for navigation. The Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, and the northern circumpolar stars never set.
