Sun setting late!?!?

I thought the same thing yesterday. It seemed like it was light longer than normal. By five darkness but last night even though we were cloudy and raining, still very light at 5:20. I'm sure others will tell us that is very normal, lol!

YES!!

It is bizarre and worth figuring out!

Nobody even sees the world

Nibiru.

I notice that yesterday too, DEC 22 is the shortest day of year...

:Ohlook:

I, too, noticed that!

Bump... I can't believe no one else notices.

change your clocks back 1 hour

Because it only magically sets too late in front of your business, OP.


Moron.

nope

it is dark as hell right now

NEVER thought I would respond to this topic, but yeah, I've

noticed it too.

said EXACTLY the same to the missus just over half an hour ago

still residual light from the sunset illuminating the sky

i am CONVINCED based on years gone past, close to the solstice as we are, we should be in total blackness at that time

You might be on to something, will report back from se tn in roughly 5 hours. Peace....

Sounds like you are in a great situation to keep a daily record of the differences between the official time and your observed time.

adjust for your location and keep a simple notebook, also be sure that you are recording the actual time of sunset and not the twilight. You know, that glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, caused by the refraction and scattering of the sun's rays from the atmosphere.

While December 22nd is the shortest day of the year, the evenings start to get a little longer each day starting about December the 8th. Mornings continue to get shorter until about the 8th of January. While I don't understand exactly why it happens that way, there is likely someone in the audience who does. Probably has something to do with the earth's wobble.

And here I feel like it's setting early.. I used to work at a store that didn't close until 6pm, so every year when the time would change it sucked because it was dark when we'd leave work, so we'd take turns leaving at 5 because it didn't get dark until 5:45.. now it's dark by 5:20
