Tonight from Bogotá

Tonight in Bogotá, Colombia, the sun sets at 18:08 local time and astronomical darkness — when even the faintest stars become visible — arrives at 19:24. The moon is in waning crescent phase, 6% illuminated. No major planets are above the horizon at sunset. Sunrise comes at 05:44.

At low latitude near the equator, night length is roughly constant year-round — about twelve hours regardless of season. From near the equator, both celestial poles sit on opposite horizons — the northern circumpolar stars (the Big Dipper, Polaris) and the southern (the Southern Cross, the Magellanic Clouds) are all reachable across the year.
