      You know, tonight, that specific time of day that happens at the same time every day depending on where you are and what season it is there.

      Yeah I was also quite annoyed by that.

        I’m more worries that this is described as something coming from the sun and reaching first the part of the planet that is facing away from it.

        I always knew the sun was a hoax and the earth is flat. I’m vindicated now.

      Since the article was published a little after 1pm EDT, I would assume tonight refers to EDT… so in a few hours of the time of my comment?
