Today, July 8, is the one day of the year when 99 percent of everyone on Earth is in sunlight at the same time.
It was a brief moment at 6:15 A.M. (CST), lasting only a few minutes. And it’s, technically, just those places with people. And it wasn’t like the whole planet suddenly had sun, so places in “nautical” and “astronomical” twilight still counted.
Weather.gov has a breakdown of the different types of twilight, if you need them. Who knew there was more than one?
Here’s a graphic that breaks down who had what in terms of sunlight this morning.
