Tonight from Stockholm

Tonight in Stockholm, Sweden, the sun sets at 18:32 local time and astronomical darkness — when even the faintest stars become visible — arrives at 20:52. The moon is in full phase, 100% illuminated. 2 major planets are above the horizon as night falls. Sunrise comes at 06:45.

At this high latitude, winter nights are long and dark — among the best windows for deep-sky observation in the calendar. 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.
