4:48 is our listed sunset time...5 minutes later and its still light out but the horizon is orange and is gettig darker by the minute.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3888116 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
