Tonight from Mexico City

Tonight in Mexico City, Mexico, the sun sets at 19:07 local time and astronomical darkness — when even the faintest stars become visible — arrives at 20:24. The moon is in waning crescent phase, 4% illuminated. One major planet is above the horizon as night falls. Sunrise comes at 06:16.

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.
