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. Remember, kids, sleep with your hands above the covers.
