First and last light are civil twilight — the sun less than 6° below the horizon. Accurate to a minute or two.
Where the sun is right now
Altitude is how far above the horizon the sun sits; azimuth is the compass bearing to look along, measured clockwise from north.
Twilight, golden hour & blue hour
The three twilights are just how far the sun is below the horizon: civil to −6° (bright enough to read outside), nautical to −12° (the horizon is still visible at sea), astronomical to −18° (true darkness for stargazing). Golden hour is the warm, low-angle light photographers love, when the sun sits between −4° and +6°; blue hour is the deep-blue band just beyond it, from −6° to −4°. A dash means the sun never gets that low here on this date.
