You can see stars tonight after sunset and the end of twilight. For example, in Washington DC on October 14, 2025, sunset is at 6:32 PM and the end of twilight is at 7:29 PM. After this time, the sky will be dark enough to see stars clearly. Planets like Mars and Saturn will be visible shortly after sunset and through the night, while Jupiter can be seen before sunrise. For a good stargazing experience, look for a clear, dark spot away from city lights starting around 7:30 PM or later in your location tonight.
