When people get jaded of opinions designed to diminish individuals or
humanity itself they can turn to that intimacy which is their

It shows at about 8 pm UT on the 21st and takes until about 8 am on the
23rd to clear the horizon. During this period it moves 1 and a half times
around the horizon. Can you explain why?
