Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 8:02 PM.
After dark, the moon over Sault Ste. Marie is a waxing gibbous at 90% illumination, rising at 6:17 PM toward 108° ESE. The city sits at 46.5°N, which brings a wide 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.
