Greetings:

Below you will find a story published by KOMO News in Seattle Washington.

The story was published in June of this year.

Pay close attention to where the article says the sun should be on Dec. 22, Winter solsitice.

For the Seattle latitude, the sun should set at 235 degrees on Dec. 22, the winter solsitice.

I live 70 miles or approx. 1 degree south of Seattle. Today is November 17.

By chance, have you been wondering why it seems to be getting a bit too dark a bit too early?

Like maybe as dark now as it should be about 4 weeks from now?

Go figure!

Tonight, as I do every night, I took another compass reading of the sunset. At this latitude, the sunset tonight, November 17, 2004 was charted at 223 degrees of compass adjusted for zero horizon.

Yea, That's right.....223 degrees at zero horizon. In other words, the sun is already farther south now than it should be 5 weeks from now.

I've been watching this for some time now. I'm moving on to something else.

You'all can take it from here, OK?

Get yourselves a compass and see for yourself. This discrepancy has grown so large in the last month that even a cheap-o hand held compass will be OK.

Hey!...Don't sweat it, just keep in mind that you've been being lied to by just about possibly everyone in authority that you could ever have trusted.

So...

Maybe it's time to quite believing what you are told to believe and start believing in yourself,eh?

Take back your power.

Oh, yea, one other thing....

Here's a hint:

It's called a parabolic dip and it is happening at approx. the same time in each 24 hour earth rotation. It's similiar to an off balanced top. And....

It's not good news.

Enjoy,... and.....

Happy Holidays!

Just How Far North Is The Sun Setting?

June 25, 2004

By Steve Pool

SEATTLE - Reed from Bothell wondered just how far north of west on the compass does the sun set as we reach the longest days of the year?

Back on June 20 (the summer solstice this year), the sun set in Seattle at 305 degrees. On the equinoxes, the sun will set at due west, and on the winter solstice, the sun will set at 235 degrees on the compass heading.

As for how high the sun gets above the horizon at noon, for summer solstice time, the sun reaches 66 degrees at its peak. For the equinoxes, it's 42.5 degrees, and for winter solstice, it's a low 19 degrees.

You can figure that out by taking your latitude (for Seattle, it's about 47.5 degrees) and subtracting it from 90. That number is the sun's altitude at noon on the equinox. Add 23.5 degrees for summer and subtract it for winter.
