Tonight from Lisbon

Tonight in Lisbon, Portugal, the sun sets at 21:05 local time and astronomical darkness — when even the faintest stars become visible — arrives at 23:02. The moon is in full phase, 100% illuminated. 2 major planets are above the horizon as night falls. Sunrise comes at 06:15.

At mid-latitudes, night length varies substantially with season; summer offers shorter darkness, winter the longest. 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.
