And again you are wrong.
They do not say it is pitch black before 7:15pm on Feb. 26th.
Look. I am really happy that you have become more educated about this specific subject. That is great.
Unfortunately you are still wrong.
It was Dusk, and not "pitch black".
My link says the following.
Nautical dusk
Is when the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon in the evening. At this time, objects are no longer distinguishable, and the horizon is no longer visible to the naked eye.
Astronomical dusk
The time at which the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon in the evening.
At this time the sun no longer illuminates the sky, and thus no longer interferes with astronomical observations.
Dusk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not only that but you are wrong about the above, but also about which is who's link.
Previously you chose to use a link that defined Dusk as Twilight and I then used your previous source to the N.O. to give a more accurate description of Twilight, and then supplemented with my own link to Wiki about Dusk.
I definitely did not include nautical Dusk because, one, as we all know, we are not at sea, and two, because it really has no bearing on, and does not change my position.
It was dusk. Get that through your head.
Dusk.
D, U, S, K, Dusk.
It spanned a time period in which Zimmerman was able to describe Trayvon to the call taker, and other 911 callers were able to offer their descriptions. Does that sound like "pitch black"?
Nope.
Does it sound like the following that you provided?
"objects are no longer distinguishable"
Nope!
You are simply wrong.
You have been trying to take this argument from where it was in the beginning, and tried to make it fit what you want it to say.
That ain't gonna happen.
You are wrong.
It was Dusk.
Get over it.
Check yourself. I said it was Dusk.
I do know that dude.
It was still Dusk.
You provide the following data from the Navel Observatory.

I keep insisting that it was Dusk, and you keep insisting that I am wrong.
I told you to look up twilight because I believe that is what you think I am referring to, when I am not.
And you didn't let me down. You didn't catch on at all.
Anyways let me break it down for you.
The sun moves one degree every 4 minutes.
Twilight is over and Dusk begins when the sun is 6° below the local horizon.
Based on the Sunset time you provided, Dusk began at 6:47pm in Sanford Fl.
Nautical dusk begins when the sun is 12° below the local horizon.
Based on the Sunset time you provided, Nautical dusk began at 7:13pm in Sanford Fl.
Astronomical dusk begins when the sun is 18° below the local horizon.
Based on the Sunset time you provided, Nautical dusk began at 7:37pm in Sanford Fl.
No matter how you break it down it was still Dusk.
D, U, S, K, Dusk!
Earlier I stated the following:
So, it is now 8:16.
It is Dusk.
There is enough ambient light to see just fine.
You want to make it out like I said it was light outside, when all I said was there was enough
ambient light to see just fine.
You are wrong, were wrong, and still will be wrong.
It was Dusk.
What we have is a period of time that has constantly evolving, to the more dark, lighting conditions. Dusk.
It starts with Zimmerman being able to clearly describe Trayvon, continues throughout in which 911 callers were able to give their descriptions, some better than others, and finally comes to a close before the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon in the evening, at which time the sun no longer illuminates the sky. Which I suppose would be "pitch black", if the moon and stars were not present, and there is no artificial light.
It was Dusk.
You were wrong.
Get over it.
Unless Trayvon had seen his firearm beforehand, he had no reason to believe he was reaching for one.
And by the choice of words used, Trayvon was clearly attacking out of annoyance, not self defense.
And since, as you say, it was "pitch black", there is no way he could have seen a gun.
Heck, being "pitch black" Zimmerman wouldn't have been able to see who he was shooting.
"Pitch black" my ass.
