It is still Jewish tradition, which has not changed with the advent 
of artificial lights.  Days begin with the coming of dark.  Thus, the 
Sabbath begins at dusk on Friday, and ends Saturday night.  There are 
many detailed laws (which I am not versed in) that discuss exactly 
how to determine the precise moment when night has fallen.
