I have seen it word for word before. [/quote] Yes, you have. [quote:Anonymous Coward 75870613:MV8zNzA3ODAyXzY2MzExMDQzXzJDODlCMzk3] If you are not doing the work yourself you do not know and copying material off the net does not prove at damn this regards this topic. [/quote] Uh, I wrote it originally, and have "done the work myself." Which requires, you know, thinking. And joining a star party to see for one's self. [quote:Anonymous Coward 75870613:MV8zNzA3ODAyXzY2MzExMDQzXzJDODlCMzk3] get out there and do with work.. and to get tilt changes from day to day you have to be in exactly the same spot... you cannot move around.. move 10 feet and the sun will appear in a different spot from your perspective . So do the stars.. have any of you noticed when you walk at night that the stars appear to move with you? find the moon with some marker like a the edge of a tree and walk 10 feet and it will not appear in the same place. [/quote] Then how, precisely, does celestial navigation work in your universe? And please explain how GOTOs still work, if what you are claiming is true? There's a good fellow. [/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.
