My husband has been lying to me for 2 weeks telling me that the winter solstice already happened and it was getting less dark out and I didn't bother to double check him. HOW DARE HE?!

Actually, the days were still getting shorter but since December 16th the sunsets have been getting later by a few seconds each day because Earth's rotation isn't a perfect 24 hours. It's hard to explain but the actual time for Earth to complete a revolution, relative to stellar positioning, is 23 hr 59 m 54 seconds but since Earth is orbiting the sun it is deceptive because the actual time it takes Earth to complete a revolution, relative to our own SUN, is 24 hr 00 m 00.6 seconds - on average. It actually varies because Earth actually doesn't travel through space at a constant speed. It's a brain bender.

Wow you know you never realize how crazy smart some of the people you interact with are! Thank you for taking the time to type that out! Space is crazy fascinating. I think I just about understand what you're saying.

Your husband gets away with lying because of some sciencey loophole.

I'm not crazy smart, just have always loved astronomy and astrophysics as a hobby. lol It made it much easier to follow my favorite authors like Arthur C. Clarke and Frank Herbert growing up.

I messed up on submitting this, so that's fun.

ALSO does this hit mean that eventually we'll get a "which penis does this look like" hit from those "draw a penis" hits?
