Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:46 on 16 June; the latest is 21:11 on 29 December. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:27 on 13 December to 08:59 on 25 June.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Stanley different

Clock noon and solar noon are 43 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:42 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 34 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 51.7°S accounts for the 10-minute difference.

Evening golden hour runs 65 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 51.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Over a year the sunset point slides 80° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 96 seconds later each day this month — 47 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Stanley

Arrive by 17:56. Golden hour opens at 18:11 and the sun is down by 18:55, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 266° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:16 and runs to 19:29, the end of civil twilight and 33m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
