McMullin golden hour & blue hour by season

Golden hour is the warm, low-sun light; blue hour is the cooler twilight that brackets it. These windows come from McMullin’s true solar geometry — the sun’s altitude, not a fixed hour — so they stretch toward the solstices and run longer than the rule-of-thumb hour.

Why sunset time shifts in McMullin

Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.

In McMullin, the longest day carries about 14h 41m of daylight and the shortest just 9h 38m — a swing of roughly 5h 3m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for McMullin’s exact coordinates, in local time.
