Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 9:01 PM.

After dark, the moon over Inver Grove Heights is a waning crescent at 22% illumination, rising at 12:46 AM toward 49° NE. The city sits at 44.8°N, which brings a wide seasonal swing 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.
