Hey there

A little quick question for all you starcrazy people:
When exactly does the year start getting shorter again? Untill the 21st or 22nd of december the days get shorter and shorter, but at some time during those days it shifts, and the days begin to get longer... When does this shift occur this year? Exact time would be appreciated.

Best regards and a merry xmas to all

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
