Astronomy Notes j
By OLAF HALVERSON
We have all noticed that thej
lengthening of the day soon after
the shortest day of the year takes
place in the afternoon half of the
.24 hours. At first the increase is
very slight, perhaps only two or
three -minutes in the course of a
week. The sun begins to set later
each day, although its time of '
rising does not show much change
until the middle part of January.
The reason for this is that the
sunrise and sunset are calculated
for the real sun, but the times
themselves are mean times, that
is, time according to an imaginary
or fictitious sun. The real sun is
slow in comparison to the ficti
tious sun during the early part of
the winter. Hence, the real sun is
still above the horizon while the
fictitious sun has set, thus length
ening the afternoon.
This equation of time has to be
made because the earth travels
faster in its orbit in winter than
in summer.
The Great Lakes could be seen
from the moon with the naked
eye.
