According to the United States Naval Observatory,
"At the beginning or end of nautical twilight, under good atmospheric conditions and in the absence of other illumination, general outlines of ground objects may be distinguishable, but detailed outdoor operations are not possible. During nautical twilight the illumination level is such that the horizon is still visible even on a Moonless night allowing mariners to take reliable star sights for navigational purposes, hence the name."

Twilight is when the sun is below the horizon- either has not yet risen, or has just set. Civil twilight- what most people mean when they say twilight- the sun is no more than 6 degrees below the horizon. There is also nautical twilight, where the sun can be as much as 12 degrees below the horizon. That time is used by sailors to take "sightings" on stars with a sextant for navigation. In Nautical twilight, you can see stars, but there is still a visible horizon to use in your sightings.
