The Sky This Week, 2011 January 11 – 18 — Naval Oceanography Portal

January 12th marks the end of the doldrums of winter. For the past week we have been experiencing the latest sunrises of the year here in Washington, but each day from now until the summer solstice the Sun will come up a little earlier each day. We experienced the earliest sunsets back in early December. By the end of this week Old Sol will be setting half an hour later than he did back then.
