West Coast of Ireland. Twilight lasts a long time. It's lovely especially when I'm out in the country away from the light pollution. Cloud cover can be an issue and make's it seem darker, possibly just because you are getting rained on at the time.
Flat Earthers are currently arguing over an upcoming event called 'the final experiment' where flat earthers & normal folk are invited to Antarctica to see the 24h Sun in December (impossible on a flat earth)
Lol Neil called him in while he was on a date with the wife... "Chuck get down here, I figured out how to tell everyone about nighttime" "Neil I'm celebrating my anniversary"...
You should also mention that the moon does not emanate its own light it reflects the sun light. Because of that vampires would not be able to go out during the moonlight because they would burn since they would be getting sun light
@@mcmosfet2856 Are you serious? By the way, they are as real as any of these so called "gods" humans believe to exist. And the problem with this world is that they "exist". They only exist in the minds of those who believe them to exist but, they are there. So, what is your point? Do you understand the concept of humor? You just assume everyone in the world is as disconnected from reality as trump? Or is that a humorous comment to a humorous comment on a very interesting video? You know what? It does not matter. What it matters is that you made a comment and that is cool. Cheers.
But if it's the UV exposure that's harmful to vampires, a full moon in perfect conditions only reflects about 1/400,000th the light of the sun, so they might just get a slight tan from the UV. And if they can't withstand any UV exposure at all, they wouldn't survive turning on light bulbs at night, because those emit small amounts of UV too. Even flames emit small amounts of UV, so it's time for all the vampires to throw away their fancy candelabras. It's not easy being a vampire...
I think it references that one feels emotionally darkest before the dawn. When a person is troubled and trying to find hope, after suffering in the dark for several hours, the time before the sun comes up FEELS the most hopeless.
I'm not sure it's even that incorrect. Twilight encompasses both dusk and dawn, and what they're discussing here could also be called dusk. Dawn is defined as the first appearance of light before sunrise, so the 'first appearance' of light implies that there was first an absence of light. That said, there's even more to it when you fully understand what twilight is. When you hear, "it's darkest before the dawn," you might presume that the dark at some point felt unbreakable, when in reality the deepest darkness of night breaks much earlier (in the astronomical dawn) than one may assume (such as in the nautical dawn). It truly is an onion of a concept, layers upon layers of poetry to align with our emotional experiences. I like to see it as a conveyance that hope can be found even in places you have yet to perceive. On the other side, astronomical dusk could equate to the human nature of nurturing hope in a hopeless situation. We instinctually refute futility and strive to endure, carrying ourselves through the dark believing the light will shine again. Now, if you reversed the term to say, "It's always brightest before the dusk," then we're probably talking actual nonsense lol
When the news report the sunset and sunrise time is this when the next 6 degrees start? Also can we figure out how long it takes for the 18 degrees to start?
You need a calculator that takes into account your latitude and the time of year, in order to be able to figure out that information. I’m sure they’re out there for astrophotographers, but I’m not personally acquainted with them.
Actually, now that this discussion has settled in, it reminds me of anti-black, racist people, and Artificial Intelligence. AI "knows" the answer to the question of "Why do Africans live in mud huts". In short, it's because why would they use anything else? Of course, the people who traveled to parts of the globe couldn't build mud huts in the mountains - but they would eventually try figuring out how to use timber. And if in a place without enough or timber, or where timber is not adequate, they will start carving into mountainsides, and one day become curious of the compositions of these rocks, and be more likely to think about needing to depend on renewable energy resources and crop/soil rotation, etc. etc. Despite having all of the context to make these very logical connections, they will struggle to suggest Africans were/are CAPABLE of making new discoveries or influencing any other culture in any meaningful way... and that part, is, I think, due to rhetoric and social constructs more than sound logic or reasoning.
In astrophysics, the universe operates on scales and principles that challenge our everyday understanding of reality. Concepts like dark matter, black holes, and the expansion of space itself remind us that we’re only scratching the surface of what lies beyond. When we look at where the sun never sets-such as in the vast, boundless depths of the cosmos-it's a poetic reminder of the constant motion of celestial bodies and the ever-changing nature of the universe. Each discovery pushes the boundaries of our knowledge, but also humbles us, as we realize how much more there is to learn about the cosmos and its secrets.
I'm watching the trademark Arizona pastel sunset as we speak!! And today is finally the day that the days and nights are an even 12 houirs each. But there's technically 12 and 2/3 hours of usable light.
At 7:02 , that’s the Mole Antonelliana in the city of Torino (Turin) Italy, what an interesting subject which by the way is at 45 deg 04” North latitude.
Are humans, animals, and everything else on this planet the only beings that experience death, or could there be other forms of life, perhaps beyond Earth, that also face mortality?
Do the different twilights roughly coincide with light hitting the differing layers of atmosphere- ie civil/troposphere nautical/stratosphere and astronomical/mesosphere?
ahahahahaha....Niel has to go on and ruin a good serial fantasy for many adults who are dreamers. Niel has forgotten this : ua-cam.com/video/Q3luGG2MsTk/v-deo.html Baumann, N. & kuhl, J. (2002).

I can remember having English watercolour paintings of sunsets & rises from the late 1800's with striking colours, from the volcanic ash, that went round the World, from the 1883 volcanic eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia.
The Army taught us BMNT and EENT, (Begin Mean Nautical Twilight & End Evening Nautical Twilight) do you just group those times into Twilight? You guys Rock!
It sure is I know that it is a fact because of the job that I had. I worked outside overnight in the winter before sunrise the temperature would drop fast and you could feel it
Burning question: If Alpha Centauri is around 5 years away and your light sail travels at 1/4 the speed of light, it takes 20 years to get to that star. My question is, how much time does the sail experience getting there? Doesn’t it experience less time due to general relativity?
Incidentally, photographer Nick Carver recently published a fascinating video on how light goes from harsh to soft to harsh again during sunset and dawn. Truly A+ stuff.
1:45 I don't know what to say but I really discover this by my self. In the evening about 6.30 the sun was covered with clouds and there were clouds which were orange in colour and it was beautiful and i just thought about this thing that even after sun is Coverd with clouds, the clouds act as a light defuser and those orange clouds acts as a lens which diverges the light ray from sun which is covered by the clouds to ground.
Technically he's wrong. The night sky also has air glow which is self illuminating gases. You'll notice this in a very dark sky area, think Bortle Scale 1 or 2.
I like these two's dynamic but I don't like how they word bully and eye bully each other we don't need chucks improve to go off tangent or undecided but he's just what we need Neil should trust him nobody pays attention to what he's saying we're here for you bro 😂😂😂
I always enjoy Neil’s videos. I’ll go in the comments to see other physicists comment too. Until he went to Joe Rogan’s podcast and now all we have are just morons everywhere in the comment section. Especially on Facebook. His UA-cam videos seem more informative in the comment section.
Here in Denmark, we may not have hours of twilight, but when we travel south to Spain or Italy, we sure notice the difference. Dark comes really fast in those latitudes. Thank you for the explainer, and thank you Lord Nice for your crazy funny jokes. It reminded me of the American logistics officer that said about the civil war in ex-Yugoslavia - "They call it a civil war . . I don't see anything civil about it". He was right there.
I love how often the ISS passes directly overhead where I live, often just after sunset, so I can see it very clearly - because it is still getting sunlight. I live in Middelburg, The Netherlands.
As someone with a telescope Civil: Telescope setup Naughtical: Telescope alignment Astronomical: Cup of tea and chat with fellow astronomers Night: Camera time
Are three twilights defined by when the bottom of the sun hits the 6,12 and 18 degree marks below the horizon -- or the midpoint of the sun, or the top of the sun? And does the same standard apply to the 3 dawns?
I spent 5 years in the UK working on U-2 aircraft. I was on mid-shift 11pm-730am. In the wintertime I didnt see the sun for a few months. Couple of panic moments when you wake up at 4 and arent sure if its am or pm.
Neil, I have always been curious about the answer to this question. As an astronomical lamen, everything beyond our own planet is fascinating to me, but you as an SME in astrophysics, what is the one thing in the cosmos that still leaves you awestruck? In other words, what's the one thing you would consider the "coolest" object/entity that YOU have ever visibly seen beyond our own planet?
I think the reason for those movie scenes were because they wanted a dramatic effect on film. Because at one time color film would record low level light when digital did not. But also some filmmakers simply start filming at night and finish at dawn. They don't do private screening before finishing production. The don't see the flaws until the public complains. I remember a can of Pepsi in Game of Thrones...nuff..said
To have civil twilight the whole night at least once a year, you have to be North (or South) of 60.5°, and to have nautical twilight the whole night, you need to be North (South) of 54.5°, right? St. Peterburg in Russia famously has the White Nights, and it is pretty close to civil twilight on Summer Solstice at 59.5° North.
So Neil I recently heard you ask where did God come from?...The answer is He always existed. He has no end and no beginning He is Thee Eternal, The everliving.
This made a lot of sense. When watching the English Premier League football (soccer), you find a game starting at 8:30PM and you still see some reflection of the sun. That has always caught my attention. Very well explained.
Neil just said Nordic countries followed by Scotland and England? Might have missed him saying something but i'm pretty sure he's a bit off if i heard him right.
I have a question. If space is being moved by the fundamental force of gravity, is it "pulled" towards the center of the mass? If so, what happens with the space when it reaches the center? Is a celestial body such as earth capable of creating a point of no return for the light? Sort of event horizon, which is only unreachable because of space taken by the amount of matter that earth consist of?
Love the show ♥Weird map though: Switzerland got murdered by drowning after switching side from the right side of France! It was after astrnomical twilight though. Nobody saw nothing.
are tornadoes attracted to high voltage and emf radiation? by chance ? Was watching a video of a Tornado and it seemed to follow the High Voltage Power Lines., its always Twilight these days wherever LED lights exist In the Ohio Valley
Most bright stars can be sighted with a sextant at the beginning of the Civil Twilight in the eveniings. So back in the day, Civil Twilight was more important to us than the Nautical Twilight, even though we were navigating ships. On a really fine (cloudless) and sunny day, we could even sight Venus in broad daylight after getting its approximate azimuth and elevation from the Nautical Almanac.
I like seeing how the light shifts on Svalbard. Civil twilight is picking up momentum now, after the equinox, and nautical twilight just started happening. At some point, civil and nautical twilight will last 24 hours. I don't remember if astronomical twilight hits the 24 hour mark before starting to shift back the other way.
I already understood this, but during a twilight return to Florida from NYC, I could observe that it was dark on the ground/ocean below, yet the clouds surrounding my plane at 35k feet remained illuminated and twilight was very prolonged.
For photographers and cinematographers, we call it blue hour. You get a beautiful sky, soft light bouncing off the atmosphere, and no harsh sun to compete with.
Thanks a lot. I have been depressed because we passed the fall equinox and are only getting 12 hour days I live in Ottawa and on June 21st we got 15 hours 40 minutes of daylight. I hate winter. But summer twilight is the best. Especially in a boat on Lake Ontario.
What's twilight like in your latitude?
Worthy of daily encores. ;-P
In my latitude of 450 feet above sea level Venus looks amazing here in Hormigueros Puerto Rico

At a latitude of 42 N it'll take 94 minutes from sundown to the end of astronomical twilight (all 18°)

Maybe the Moon absorbs the part of the light harmful to vampires (but useful to make portals :))

And breaking dawn.
Mr Chuck compliments perfectly Dr Neil 😂😂 born to be friends fr
"we call that night time right?" 😂
LORD. Lord Nice😂
"It's darkest before dawn" is such a poetic sentiment tho.....Perhaps the more accurate version of that general idea is 'it's coldest before dawn'
But the saying is, it is coldest at the dawn dip. Which is at dawn. 👀
