(SNES) Weird Sunset



Those of you who are known to the assembled masses as the local astronomy
guru will probably be bombarded about next week's [June 10th] partial
eclipse at sunset. Most of the country will get to see this event but
unfortunately not those of us in the north east.

If my calculations are correct, the centers of the two bodies will be 36 arc
minutes apart at the instant of sunset (calculated at FDO). This means that
the Moon will be just a bit outside of the Sun when they drop beneath the
horizon.

So close but not ceegar!
