About this day
Daylight runs 12 hours 0 minutes, within six minutes of an even twelve — the windows are close to equal.
The yoga runs past midnight and ends after tomorrow's sunrise, so it names two civil days.
The first change today is the karana, at 10:44 am.
Rahu kalam takes the sixth of the eight parts of daylight on a Thursday, which puts it at 1:39 pm here.
