The Last Sunset
October 22nd, 2007 by Ken Mankoff
This morning was the last sunrise and tonight is the last sunset I'll get to see until sometime in December when I fly north to New Zealand. Not that I was awake at 3AM-ish when it rose, nor will I see it when it sets because a) it is stormy and b) I'll be asleep.
I don't think much will change. While the Sun has been setting for a few hours each night, it has not been dark at all. Definitely not enough to see stars since I've been down here. I miss the stars.
And there is plenty of topographic relief in the area, so even when the sun is at the highest point December 21, it will still go behind various hills for a few hours during the day.
