Solstice info

[clevermanka]

I'm trying to find sunset and sunrise times for the solstice. I was relying on this website, which I would hope to be accurate. However, I just noticed how very dark it is already, an hour before sunset according to the chart they provide. Does anyone have an opinion on if this is reliable information or have an alternate source?

Looking at the times, they look right to me. I'm judging from the fact that I'm out going to and from work at sunrise and sunset right now, and facing the sun both times.

Good deal. That makes me feel better. Thanks! I guess today is just cloudy, as everflame and cedarsong mention.

I usually just go by www.weather.com, but it's saying that sunset is at 4:59 this evening...and it's pretty dark. Hrmm :/. I wonder if that's cuz it's cloudy.

I'm sure it's cuz it's cloudy. it's been dark all day.

That site directs me to the naval website I was using. LOL!

This is too much information about the sky, but I love playing with it.

Holy cow. I can't even figure out where to start looking there...but you say the 5:02 sunset time sounds right?

That's easy to figure out, and only a minute off from the Naval website. OK! So I guess I'll light my candle at 5:02!

Thanks.
