2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

The day begins and ends about 15 minutes earlier here. New York is the first of several places in the next few weeks we can begin to track the effect of longitude on the length of the day and the timing of the sunrise and sunset. Any guesses?
Next stop Frankfort. Then Barcelona. Then Tel Aviv.
Predictions? Explanations?
