    You know how they say twilight is that moment just after the sun goes down and some stars start twinkling away? Is there a name for that period of the morning just before the sun comes up? Is it just twilight?

    Discuss :D

    It could be dawn, I don't know.

    Ah, but there's dusk...Dawn & Dusk. Twilight must surely have a buddy too :)

    according to Thesaurus.com, twilight is an antonym of dawn rather than a synonym.

    it did mention "daylight" though, which could be twilight's little buddy.

    synonyms as cited by thesaurus.com: aurora, bright, cockcrow, dawning, day peep, daybreak, daylight, early bright, first blush, first light, light, morn, morning, sunrise, sunup, wee hours

    so it could be one of these.

    I think we were looking for the antonym of twilight ... dawn it is:)
    Dawn is to twilight what sunrise is to sunset.

    Would have to agree it's dawn, and I'd say dusk is the same as twilight....
