the Present Day


The day started with a curiosity regarding the Spring Equinox occurring March  20th and the day-length of 12 hours of sunlight occurring on March 17th - a few days ahead of the equinox.  The disparity is explained by Earth's atmosphere bending the sunlight both at sunrise and sunset that adds about seven minutes total to daylight hours.
