How Time Flies...

Feb 3, 2020. Sunset 6:18 PM.
In the Sky over Atalanta? Cincinnati?



Jangling my keys softly at 40,000 ft, as the sun sets on a flight full of passengers somewhere between Atlanta, GA and Cincinnati, OH. Breathtaking!
Apparently altitude does change the time of the sunset. The time stamp on this image is 18:18:45 PM EST, and the sunset times recorded for Atlanta & Cincinnati on February 3 are listed as 6:10 & 6:01 PM EST respectively.

  2. Ooooo Stunning! And I love that time travels differently the high you go-- that's a wrinkle I hadn't realized-- Oh Einstein strikes again-- It makes sense in a way that you have to travel faster on the outside of a circle to keep up with the points closer to the center. Thank you!!!
