celestial indifference

"Sun setting over Lake Michigan" -LB

Interesting trivia? I only just realized that the sun rises or sets over 4 of the 5 Great Lakes in Michigan. AND the state sports 2 times zones.

With the relationships between our arbitrary borders on Earth and the celestial indifference to them in mind-- today -- July 4th is the last day for the latest sunset of the year at this latitude.

While the sun has been rising later and later for several weeks now, shrinking the day from that end (about 4 second per day), the sunset will now begin its own shutting down of the day earlier-- slowly- but still earlier.

Thank you Lisa for these.
