Click the Rise/Set Times button. This form is a "Front End" for information from the US Naval Observatory. It defaults to Aurora, Colorado, on today's date. However, you can select other dates (within a few years of today), other US states, and other major US cities. To use for another US city, select the state from the pulldown menu and then type in the exact name of the city. Only major US cities are supported. For smaller US cities, Canadian locations or other world locations, you can visit the US Naval Observatory site here: US Naval Observatory Data Services OR NOAA ESRL Sunrise/Sunset Calculator (defaults to Boulder and Standard Time) For other major US, Canadian and World cities, visit: SunriseSunset.com. (This is a great site where you can get information for the whole month) |
