I'm on vacation, don't really need to worry about that. Just need to wake up and decide whether I feel like drinking or not. :D

That would be really cool if someone laid down a piece of tape every day at the same time, that way one could see the way the shadows travel over the year.

Astronomy

Am I the only one who notices that unless The Simpsons takes place in the southern hemisphere, the direction of sunlight is going the wrong direction?

[–]Cheese-Its_Christ 5 points6 points ago

Maybe I've drank too much personally right now, but why would it matter? Since you don't know which way Lenny is facing, how can you make any assumptions about the direction of the incoming sunlight?

Couldn't he be facing South?

[–]Brisco_County_III 4 points5 points ago

Facing south (practically the only way you could get this effect in the northern hemisphere), the sunlight from a hole will travel from west to east as the sun travels from east to west. If he's facing south, since that's the direction the sun is coming from, then the shadow it traveling from east to west, the opposite direction that it would travel normally.

I mean, I guess there could be a mirror involved, but if not, Lizking is right.

Actually wait, humor me for a minute here.

Suppose he's facing North (and suppose I was wrong initially). The Sun should be moving from his right to his left (East --> West), no? Then the effect of the pinhole light would make the light go from his left to his right. Isn't that what the picture is showing?

[–]g33n 5 points6 points ago

But in the northern hemisphere, there's no way to have the sun light come from any angle that would allow him to face north.

That makes sense, thanks.

By the way, linking to an MPR image to prove your point? A man after my own heart.

Very morning or evening during summer it's possible to get a slight northerly angle, but yeah, nothing like the near-direct path we see here.

Oh, but wait! I have an alternate proposal! What if he is in fact facing south-east, and the sun is in the downward and westward part of its trajectory? This could allow a period of motion that would make this happen, during the late afternoon.

[–]Chewzer 1 point2 points ago

But it can't be late afternoon otherwise it would be drinking time already and Lenny wouldn't be standing around waiting for the sun to reach it's mark.

[–]brezzz 1 point2 points ago

Due west in the summer time would also make sense.

Why wait? It's drinking time somewhere in the world right now, just join them...

Someone asks? Reply - It's happy hour somewhere.

If I become President I will pass a law saying drinking time is ANYTIME!

On Fridays at three, the receptionist brings in several cases of beer and we all drink at our desks.
