About the time in Ascension
Sunrise today lands at 07:04 and sunset at 06:57 local time, giving 11h 53m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-7.94, -14.36) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ascension.
Ascension runs on Atlantic/St_Helena, which puts the city UTC +0 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Around 1,035 people live in Ascension, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
