As alluded to in the name of the television series,
twilight does serve as a liminal time, between day and night. The name of the television fiction series
The Twilight Zone makes reference to this describing it as "the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition" in one variant of the original series' opening. The name is from an actual zone observable from space in the place where daylight or shadow advances or retreats about the Earth.
Noon and, more often midnight can be considered liminal, the first transitioning between morning and afternoon, the latter between days.
