dailybell: Ides of March and St. Patrick's Day Sandwich

dailybell

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.

Ides of March and St. Patrick's Day Sandwich

March 16, 2024. Sunrise and Sunset 7:18. San Francisco, CA.
Happy Equilux 2024! Allow me to be the bearer of some good news :)

Today is the day- Equal time for light and darkness- (unlike the Equinox) We will be accelerating towards the Summer Solstice from here--

Normally the Spring Equilux falls tomorrow on the 17th of March. However, with the extra day inserted for the leap year-- IT'S TODAY- the 16th of March- sandwiched between the Ides of March and St. Patrick's Day-

You may notice that I identified the date for the sunrise this morning as March 18th. I am not at my most reliable in the morning but none-the-less enthusiastic-- I apologize for spreading the confusion.

DID YOU SEE THE FLARE?!? (0:25 already lit up - 0:32 shrinks)
