A closer look at the sky over Kodiak

On September 23, 2026, the sun is above Kodiak for 12h 8m — rising at 7:57 AM toward 89° E, reaching its high point at 2:01 PM, and setting at 8:05 PM toward 270° W. Those two horizon moments anchor the day's best light.

That gives an evening golden hour of 7:13 PM – 8:32 PM (about 1h 19m) followed by the cooler 8:32 PM – 8:43 PM blue hour once the sun is down; early risers get the same in reverse, with blue hour at 7:18 AM – 7:29 AM and a morning golden hour of 7:29 AM – 8:48 AM. Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 8:43 PM.

After dark, the moon over Kodiak is a waxing gibbous at 91% illumination, rising at 7:18 PM toward 111° ESE. The city sits at 57.8°N, which brings an extreme seasonal swing in day length: through September the days are drawing in and the point where it sets is sliding back toward the south, so every one of these times drifts gradually from day to day. The planner above recomputes all of them for whatever date you select.
