Yes, I know the sun moves across the skyline as the seasons change, but I've never seen the sun go down in this position except in the summer months. How is it possible for it to move so far so quickly? And it's still February!! Anyone with a reasoned explanation is welcome to comment.
The earth is tilting from the gravitational pull of this object. The Inuit elders up in the Arctic follow the sun closely and have mentioned this also.
ReplyDeleteJonathan, please provide a link to your statement.
ReplyDeleteDevash, I have also noticed this from my east facing window, every morning as I love to witness the rising sun from over the Kotel and upward. It is very intriguing. Also the Torah says that before the flood the weather was mostly springlike all year long. After the flood we now have seasons. And in the Geula we will once again revert back (pole shift) to springtime weather. B"H we are witnessing slowly over these several years the Geula unfolding before our eyes. How wonderful.

ReplyDeleteAmazing info, bright people.
Thought you might find this interesting: "I observed something funny yesterday. I put my iphone down and turned on the compass and set it to due North I happened to notice where the sun was in the sky and it seemed to be like where it would be in the summer (N to S). Suddenly I look on my compass which was just sitting on a counter and it moved 12-16 degrees and the sun I think went south like in winter. This hapened approximately 3:45PM NY time."
ReplyDeleteIt was in a comment on Absolutetruth.
Reality check: I had to ask whether our Jewish calendars' sunrise and sunset times are now wrong? My husband says no, and he gets up at 4:30 every morning. That still gives him enough time to fully wake up for tefilat netz (earliest Shaharit).
ReplyDeleteAs far as I can tell, I see no discrepancy in the entrance of Shabbat each week. Also, February is the month of the year where the sun advances quickly after having gone through the winter solstice. In August it retreats quickly, having gone through the summer solstice.
My theory for now: If indeed we are being set up for "forever spring," then the sun should reach that spot and stay there, and our Jewish calendars' sunrise and sunset times should be right only twice a year until we make the changeover to Rosh Hodesh announcements. Our days and nights should be the same length, and remain that way, after that.
What do you all think?
That's an excellent point. I'll have to pay closer attention.
