...Mosquitoes. In Prudhoe Bay? I'm on the Chesapeake Bay. I suggest a mosquito net... The sun goes round and,,, doesn't set in the far north. I could conclude that Prudhoe Bay is north of the Arctic Circle, at least after May 22. Alaska? It's late here on the east coast. Don't make me research geographics. Does time go by faster at the north pole, than at the equator???

...Uhhh, I'm not sure about transit EDT. My guess is the farther north, the more of the northern sky will be visible...

...Thanks for evolving some ideas I might not have thunk on my own. If yer have any more questions about science, ask a scientist...%!)

Then you live on the edge of a massive meteor strike many millions of years ago. Is your well water salty?

Yeppers.

That far north, the sun spirals gently round and round the horizon: at midnight the sun is due north and few degrees above the horizon. At 6:00 am (when the transit occurs in EDT) it is due east, at noon, it is due south (and a few degrees higher than at midnight!) and is due west at 6:00 pm.
