From Chabad.org,
"While a day starts and ends at nightfall, the exact moment when night — and the next calendar date — begins is not clear.
The twilight period, from sunset ("shekiah") until three stars are visible in the sky ("tzeit hakochavim"), is an "iffy" time period, known as "bein hashmashot." Shabbat and all the holidays begin at sunset, the earliest possible definition of nightfall, and end when three stars appear in the sky the next evening, the latest definition of nightfall.
A rabbi should be consulted if a boy is born during bein hashmashot (to determine when the circumcision should be scheduled), or if a person passes away during this time (to determine the date when the yahrtzeit should be observed)." - https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/526873/jewish/The-Jewish-Day.htm

So where does an "evening" fit into all that?
