I just checked the data from the Naval Hydrographic Service and I was surprised at how accurate everything is. The actual time of sunrise varies quite a bit depending on where you are, but in Buenos Aires, that Sunday, February 15th, it was quite early, around 6:27 AM. The interesting part is that before sunrise, there's a morning twilight period starting at 6:01, when the sky begins to light up even though the sun is still below the horizon.



The maximum temperature reached 26°C that afternoon, according to the SMN. If you want to know what time sunrise occurs in your area, it depends a lot on your latitude. Here in Argentina, the difference between summer and winter is almost two hours; it's not the same as near the Equator, where it varies very little.

What caught my attention is that that month also had some amazing eclipses scheduled. An annular eclipse on February 17th, visible partially from the southern part of the country, and then a total lunar eclipse on March 3rd that could be seen across all of America. The "blood moon" effect, which gives the moon a reddish color, is beautiful to see with the naked eye.

Additionally, 2026 will be a pretty active year for sky watchers. The Perseids in July-August, the Leonids in November, the Geminids in December. If you're interested in astronomy, it's definitely worth paying attention to these events.
