Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville developed the Saturn V, the rocket that took Apollo to the Moon — and the most powerful ever flown until the 2020s. The city's population quadrupled in the 1950s and nearly doubled again in the 1960s.
The clock: Huntsville keeps Central Time. Its Space Camp has trained several people who later flew as astronauts.
Huntsville lies at 86.6°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The 3.4° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 14 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:46 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 46 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:46.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 29m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 49m. The swing between them is 4h 40m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Huntsville the sun comes up earliest on 13 June at 05:32, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 20:04. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Huntsville that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 30 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
