Worked out for the night of Thu 5 Nov 2026, on Cebu’s clock (GMT+8).

Tonight here reads much as it does from Budta, Philippines, whose page says it for both.

How it is worked out: the Sun, the Moon and the planets from the same ephemerides the sky map draws, for Cebu at 10.32°N, 123.89°E, with a flat horizon and the light-pollution atlas’s estimate of its sky. Dark means the Sun 18° below the horizon; a planet counts once it is 10° up. The methods and their measured errors.
