Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:57 on 28 May; the latest is 18:40 on 27 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:39 on 17 November to 06:28 on 14 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Port Moresby different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 9.5°S accounts for the 3-minute difference.

Over a year the sunset point slides 48° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 25 February and 18 October, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high. The next one is in 8 days.

The times barely move this week: the longest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 1 minutes later over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Port Moresby

Arrive by 17:23. Golden hour opens at 17:38 and the sun is down by 18:06, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:19 and runs to 18:27, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
