nights
When stars appear
Nights is the plural of night, but it also works as an adverb meaning during the nighttime hours, especially as a regular pattern: She works nights at the hospital, He can't sleep nights.
This adverbial use parallels days, weekends, and other time-period words that double as schedule markers.
