I was wondering what time dawned on that Friday, February 13, and I ended up falling into a hole of astronomical information. It turns out that sunrise was around 6:28 AM in Buenos Aires, with morning twilight starting about half an hour earlier. Sunset today was at 7:58 PM, so the days were already quite long during that summer period. The interesting part is that the maximum temperature occurred in the afternoon, around 27°C.

Now, if you're into eclipses and meteor showers, 2026 is going to be exciting. There are two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses scheduled, including a total lunar eclipse in March that will be visible across all of America. The Perseids arrive in August, and the Leonids in November if you want to plan a night of stargazing. The exact times vary depending on where you are, but latitude is key: in mid-latitudes like Argentina, the difference between solstices is almost two hours. Pretty crazy when I think about it.
