Tonight from Bangalore

Tonight in Bangalore, India, the sun sets at 18:49 local time and astronomical darkness — when even the faintest stars become visible — arrives at 20:08. The moon is in waxing gibbous phase, 95% illuminated. No major planets are above the horizon at sunset. Sunrise comes at 05:56.

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.
