DARKNESS AT NOON

SO, YOU THOUGHT THAT THE MOON WAS OFF COURSE? WELL, CHECK THIS OUT!

Greetings:

Below you will find a story published by KOMO News in Seattle Washington.

The story was published in June of this year.

Pay close attention to where the article says the sun should be on Dec. 22, Winter solsitice.

For the Seattle latitude, the sun should set at 235 degrees on Dec. 22, the winter solsitice.

I live 70 miles or approx. 1 degree south of Seattle. Today is November 17.

By chance, have you been wondering why it seems to be getting a bit too dark a bit too early?

Like maybe as dark now as it should be about 4 weeks from now?

Go figure!

Tonight, as I do every night, I took another compass reading of the sunset. At this latitude, the sunset tonight, November 17, 2004 was charted at 223 degrees of compass adjusted for zero horizon.

Yea, That's right.....223 degrees at zero horizon. In other words, the sun is already farther south now than it should be 5 weeks from now.
