compressor stall,
Nautical twilight allows the marine navigator to see both the stars he wants to shoot and the horizon at the same time (necessary when using a marine sextant). At and before civil twilight, you can see the horizon but not the stars you might need. After astronomical twilight, the horizon is no longer visible.
