The problem with the Navy's Sun and Moon times is that they keep changing them at will.
I lived in the Bay Area for thirty years; and the sun only sets there at 4:30 in the afternoon at the time of the winter solstace--not more than a month before. Never.
Thanks to any of you who might be able to find out something.

Nerdling, that's what the sun USED to do, when we were kids.
It's now doing something other than that, something else.
And it's not in its correct place when it sets, right now. It's too far south. This summer it was too far north.
From: Shock to the (Solar) System: Coronal Mass Ejection Tracked to Saturn
5 November 2004
In a dramatic proof that solar coronal mass ejection (CME) events affect even the outermost portions of the Solar System, scientists have traced an interplanetary shock from the Sun to Earth to Jupiter to Saturn.
They report the discovery of a strong transient polar emission on Saturn, tentatively attributed to the passage of an interplanetary shock. The shock-triggered events were first seen here on Earth, where auroral storms were recorded. Next, auroral activity on Jupiter was seen to be strongly enhanced. Finally, the unusual polar emission on Saturn was noted. This sequence of events establishes that shocks retain their ability to trigger planetary auroral activity throughout the Solar System.
Solar flares occur when magnetic energy built up in the solar photosphere is suddenly released. Radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum is released; the energy released can equal that of a million 100 megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time.

Theres nothing wrong with the sun just as there was nothing wrong with it every other time you've called it.
Please, enough.
