[quote:74444:MV8zNzA3ODAyXzY2MzEzODk4X0FBRUY4RDYx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 75870613:MV8zNzA3ODAyXzY2MzExMDIwX0UzREE0NUFC] :bump: and if the one above that is claiming the north star does not move and stays at this so called center... He/she has never observed it... You can set up a simple tube with the North star in it.. Toilet paper ones work great... and you can then see it does move.. it does that every single night.. go out a couple hours later and it won't be in the tube anymore... this is not new.. its been that way for 10 years since I started doing that experiment. You folks can stop posting internet bs as a substitute for really thinking and observation. [/quote] That simply isn't true. My Pringle's can wobble buster (tm) has the North Star in it all year round. Likewise, sextants still work. Permanently mounted telescopes still work. [/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.
