Tonight from Stockholm

Tonight in Stockholm, Sweden, the sun sets at 20:43 local time and astronomical darkness — when even the faintest stars become visible — arrives at —. The moon is in new phase, 1% illuminated. 3 major planets are above the horizon as night falls. Sunrise comes at 05:02.

At this latitude in summer, astronomical twilight may not end at all on the longest nights — a 'white night' that limits deep-sky observation. 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.
