The Sun Was Supposed To Set At 4:41 Central Time In Missouri, 12/18 , Still Hasn't Set At 5:01 | |
_Obsidian_ User ID: 14308887  United States12/19/2012 06:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Menow 18943200 It's pretty astounding that you think you can remember what time you turned on your headlights on a given day a year ago. Well, believe it or not, I do -- because I used to work at a job where I got off work at 4:00 and it took me a half-hour to get home, so about half-way home, I would have to turn on my lights. And, the reason I remember the time of year so clearly is because it was near Christmas with the holiday lights and also because, to repeat, it is the time of the winter solstice. Again, I am just asking for a reasonable explanation. Why be so snide? Because anybody with any sense knows the sun isn't setting late and we are tired of seeing this crap come around on every solstice. The "reasonable explanation" is that you just don't remember correctly. I said what I know, not what I think. However, I think that you are stupid and rude. To said nasty person....If you have the answer to everything smarty pants then why the hell are you even on here? "Only one candle left to burn now, before the darkness comes" "Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak." "But what is Hope?

| PIR User ID: 26687891 United States12/19/2012 06:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It appears that the sunset times are correct but the observed extension of visible light and the extended time needed for artificial light may be due to increased luminosity of the Sun. So the "illusion" that the Sunset is later is just that but the noted extension of visible light is NOT an illusion but observation of a true anomaly. So in conclusion the orbital status of the Sun and Earth are correct but the Sun has become so much brighter that the radiated energy is extending or diffusing into the atmosphere far beyond the norm and therefore illuminates the sky well beyond the norm. So...the Sun may be going into a hyper state of illumination at this time. If this is the case...look out!  Last Edited by PIR on 12/19/2012 06:58 PM PIR |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17989851 You people do realize that it doesn't get dark exactly at the moment the sun sets, right? There is a period after sunset (and before sunrise) called "twilight" during which you have the transition from the light of day to the dark of night (or vice versa). Yes, of course, we realize that it is not immediate "lights out" when the sun sets. However, here in Denver, we cannot see the sun set below the horizon because of the mountain range so I don't know if the timing of the sunset is off or if the sun IS brighter or what, but can anyone explain why THIS year, I am not needing to turn on my headlights until at least 20 minutes later than the same dates in previous years? I am NOT saying that something weird is occurring -- the explanation might be perfectly natural and no "doom" at all -- but sunset/twilight IS weird this month, so if anyone can explain it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. It's pretty astounding that you think you can remember what time you turned on your headlights on a given day a year ago. ughhh some people pay attention to details and some don't. Judging by your response I can conclude that you are one who obviously doesn't? lol What time did you turn on your headlights this week last year? |
