Suns and Moons

It's 3:30 p.m. and the sun is setting!

(Technically sunset today is 3:52 p.m., not that different from Ithaca's 4:33 p.m., but it sure FEELS earlier.)

Also, if you're somewhere that's dark right now, go check out the last total lunar eclipse until 2014! It's happening in the morning U.S. time (so on the east coast you might still catch a bit of the penumbral eclipse before the moon sets and the sun rises) and here in Germany, the total eclipse ends at 3:57 p.m., the partial eclipse at 5:18 and the penumbral eclipse at 6:30, so we may catch some of it as the moon's rising.
