The moon is waning crescent today, 4% lit, rising at 5:48 AM and setting at 4:00 PM. It rises about fifty minutes later each day, so tomorrow’s time is not today’s.
Daylight in Butte right now
Day and night reach almost exactly twelve hours each on Friday, September 25, 2026. That is not the equinox, and the gap is not an error: sunrise and sunset are measured at the sun’s upper edge rather than its centre, and atmospheric refraction lifts the disc into view before it has geometrically risen. The further from the equator, the larger the gap.
Solar noon — when the sun is highest, not when the clock reads twelve — comes at 12:14 PM. The difference is the combined effect of the city’s longitude within its time zone and the equation of time, which is currently 16.4 minutes.
