--Boundary_(ID_RFoGAepR9S/W9QMA/nxHVA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT For those near 45 degrees north latitude, TODAY marks the EARLIEST SUNSET (about 4:34 p.m. here in Avonport). Starting tomorrow the Sun begins to set a little later, not by any large amount, but by Dec 31 Sun is setting about 11 minutes later than today (4:45 p.m., about the time Sun was setting on Nov 17th). Latest sunrise is not until Jan 2nd. December 21st is the shortest daylight. Thinking about this, I created a diagram (using Starry Night software) to show Sun's position relative to the horizon at about 4:35 p.m. each day through December. It is actually the very southern tip of the analemma, when the Sun is near the winter solstice, as it is now.
