I just looked up when sunrise was on Saturday, February 21, in Buenos Aires, and I was surprised by how precise all of this is. The morning twilight at 06:07, then the actual sunrise at 06:33. It seems like little time, but there's an interesting difference between when it starts to get light and when the sun actually rises. The exact time matters if you plan to go hiking early or something similar.



What caught my attention most was that on that day, the highest temperature reached around 28°C at 2:00 PM. Quite hot for February in Argentina. And then the sunset at 7:40 PM, with evening twilight extending until 8:06 PM. So, there were almost 13 hours of usable daylight that day.

On the other hand, if you're interested in astronomy, 2026 has quite a bit happening: two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. The annular solar eclipse in February, lunar eclipses in March and August, and total solar eclipses in August. Not to mention the meteor showers that will be visible throughout the year, from the Quadrantids in January to the Geminids in December. Each with its own window of time. Plenty to keep an eye on the sky.
