Equatorial living. Two tidbits about living close to the equator that I bet you didn't know. If I hadn't read about them, I would have never noticed, myself.

  • The moon appears to flip completely upside down in the process of going from one horizon to the other.

  • Sunsets and sunrises happen faster than they do at other latitudes, as the sun rises and sets pretty much vertically.

    That's all Mr. Wizard has for you today.
