As I re-read the description with the APOD picture, one word stood out to me-
“approximately”. That road runs approximately East-West. So there certainly is a margin for error there. I will do as you suggest, go outside and see if I can ascertain for myself where the Sun will set, although it won’t be easy, too many trees and buildings in the way. My iPhone does have a compass on it, so I will give it a try. Hope you don’t mind my being nosy, but I checked out your profile.
A Navy man. Cool! I know you know what you’re talking about.
And thank you so much for your service! I just missed the Draft back in the day. I turned 18 just after it was abolished. I would’ve gone if I had been drafted, and not high-tailed it to Canada like a lot of guys did.
Thanks again.
Let me know what your compass says.
It just seems obvious to me.
