A closer look at the sky over Fort Knox
On August 8, 2026, the sun is above Fort Knox for 13h 52m — rising at 6:53 AM toward 69° ENE, reaching its high point at 1:49 PM, and setting at 8:45 PM toward 291° WNW. Those two horizon moments anchor the day's best light.
That gives an evening golden hour of 8:08 PM – 9:05 PM (about 56 min) followed by the cooler 9:05 PM – 9:13 PM blue hour once the sun is down; early risers get the same in reverse, with blue hour at 6:24 AM – 6:33 AM and a morning golden hour of 6:33 AM – 7:29 AM. Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 9:13 PM.
After dark, the moon over Fort Knox is a waning crescent at 22% illumination, rising at 1:47 AM toward 54° NE. The city sits at 37.9°N, which brings a moderate seasonal change in day length: through August 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.
