Is it just me or does the position of the sun seem off to time of day? Maybe just that we haven't seen in a bit


I have made it this far in life doing it My Way:cool:..... Wonder where I would be if I had CONFORMED

I couldn't help wondering the same thing roadrash. I am in Southern Hemisphere but have never had to adjust my sun dial so much as I have in the last month compared to previous years, quite severely actually. We also have a total eclipse to look forward to this coming Wednesday morning, this may be the reason why?

two interesting videos somewhat on this topic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI10tKuLtFU&feature=youtu.be

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYSIN5zhoow&list=UUTiL1q9YbrVam5nP2xzFTWQ&index=1&feature=plcp

now watch the whole video, the guy isn't a black helo type guy, he uses "drama" in the videos to make them stimulating, but he's a feet on the ground type guy

Just for everyone's information solar eclipses occur when the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun. They are relatively rare events as the orbits of the Earth and the Moon are such that they are not in the same plane as the Sun too often. However they can be calculated centuries in advance.

Solar eclipses have absolutely nothing to do with the position of the Sun. Period.

Noting that the Sun is at a different location in the sky would mean that there had been a change in the tilt of the Earth's axis. The Japan Earthquake last year jolted the axis 25cm but that is very minor and would not cause the perceived change.

We did just set the clocks back an hour. That's probably screwing your internal chronometer I'd think.


It's better to prep for something that may never happen than not prep for something that does.

maybe the sun is off, maybe the authorities are holding back the info? Without a Sextant and previous observations, I will hold back my judgements, they seem to suppress all manor of things, this could be one.
With daylight savings, that might contribute to it as well.

Would you not need to know that the sun and moon will be in a particular place to predict the eclipse?

Yes and astronomers know the locations of the Earth and the Moon by studying their respective orbits. If you would like to see a list of upcoming eclipses for the next 20 years visit:
http://www.mreclipse.com/Special/SEnext.html

This is one of many sites that published the date, time, location and type of eclipse. It also has some good descriptions of the type of eclipses and the way that they occur.

Depending on your position (east or west) in your time zone solar noon can be as much as 1/2 hr off your clock's noon. Add daylight savings time and your clock could be 1.5 hrs off of the sun's position.

thanks for the link

so if the sun was off in our horizon would it not void the prediction of the eclipe
if the sun seems off in the sky , that would assume the rotation of the earth would be slightly changed or the speed of our rotation. thus the eclipse would not be exact in the same area
