Phoenix, in the United States, enjoys a fairly even balance between summer and winter nights — expect 1.5–2 hours of true astronomical darkness on either side of midnight year-round.
None of the bright naked-eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) rise above 10° tonight from Phoenix. That's normal — planet visibility cycles roughly every 1–2 months per planet.
Sunset in Phoenix tonight is at 18:39. Astronomical twilight (when the sky is fully dark) begins later.
Not tonight — there are no ISS passes above 20° altitude in your viewing window. Passes happen roughly every 90 minutes when the orbit lines up, so check again tomorrow.
