It's been setting around that time since the end of [u]november[/u]! So what is going to happen by Dec 21st? I guess the new sunset will be at 3:something but NOT AT ALL NORMAL and been living here for over 40 yrs. [/quote] Maybe winter solstice is earlier??? I guess we'll see. [/quote] winter solstice has been earlier for most of the past 8 years.. and so has equinox been off. Our year is not 365 days anymore. [/quote] ^^^ this ^^^ I started noticing around 8 years ago The thing that gets me is we have monuments that use the suns alignments on set days and every thing still lines up correctly. And there’s the astronomical software for telescopes and all still works correctly. But thing just don’t look right [/quote]
Original Message
I heard the comment "isn't the sun setting earlier than it did last year?"
So, I looked up on G-gle when it is supposed to set where I am: 5:02.
Then I went out and watched it set. I am up high - a mountain top, so if anything, it should be a few minutes later - right?
It set at 4:49.
If you are west of the Rockies - go out and watch it set - compare what you see with the official sunset data. Simpy type
"Sunset, December 2, 2017 in Phoenix, AZ" - or wherever you are, and compare.
