Hey all,

As most of you know June 21st, A.K.A the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere will soon dawn upon us. I don't know about you all but I thought it would be interesting to share with you all what you can expect the night to be depending on where you live. Below are a list of different cities(major ones, so try and find the one closest to you). On the right is a picture of "the darkest it will get", and the left is an Isolation tool(shows shades of night).

PS: Once again, you are not at all forced to follow/subscribe to this thread and everyone is welcome to ask any questions and/or request their own cities. Enjoy :D

Note: Any city above 48°33'33 will receive Astronomical Twilight or brighter.

Where I am it doesn't get properly dark at the moment. I think for some of May, all of June and most of July our sky just goes a dark blue at night. Kind of disappointed with this year so far, we've had hardly any cumulative sunshine so it doesn't even feel like Summer yet.

^Yikes. Paris has been weird also, normally most of the days are bright and sunny but this summer we are stuck with half of the week being sunny and the other half rainy and overcast....hopefully this changes soon :D
