How much daylight will St. Louis have on the shortest day of 2023?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:09:27 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The darkest day of the year is nearly upon us.This year, the "darkest" day of the year — when Americans get as little as six hours of daylight — lands on Dec. 21 (it’s usually around Dec. 21 or 22).During the darkest or "shortest" day of the year — better known as the winter solstice — the northern hemisphere is tilted as far away from the sun as possible. This causes us in the U.S. to experience the least amount of sun during the day. As you can guess, we have the opposite during the summer solstice, which occurs in June. That's when we have the most sunlight during the day and the "shortest" night. 2023 could be one of the wettest years on record, even with a dry fall But first, we have to get through the shortest day of the year. On Thursday, most parts of the country will have only about eight or nine hours of daylight. In Denver, for example, residents will have nine hours and 22 minutes of sunlight, which is over five hours less than Denver's longest day in ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:09:27 GMT

National signing day arrived in Colorado on Wednesday and brought with it zero drama — as well as a familiar theme.Each of the state’s most coveted recruits stayed true to verbal commitments made months ago, with every last one of them signing on the dotted line with schools outside the Centennial State.The state’s top-rated Class of 2024 prep prospect, three-star offensive lineman Gage Ginther out of Fossil Ridge, was among them. In fact, he’d already joined his new team at Tennessee before the early signing period for senior high school football recruits began Wednesday.Ginther’s pledge to the Volunteers marked the seventh straight year that Colorado’s top-rated prep recruit signed with a program outside state lines. The 6-foot-5, 287-pound lineman joins fellow Fossil Ridge grad Trey Zuhn (Class of ’21) as the second No. 1 overall recruit from the Box State to head to the SEC in the last four years.

Opinion: Only bad options for the U.S. Supreme Court can keep Trump on the ballot

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:09:27 GMT

In a remarkable plot twist, the Colorado Supreme Court has found that former President Donald Trump must be excluded from the state’s primary ballot because he engaged in insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. Now the pressure is on the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, on which the Colorado court relied, truly does block Trump from the ballot.This would be a historic case, to say the least. If the justices rule directly on whether Trump is disqualified under the Constitution, their ruling would apply in every state, not only Colorado.If you’re one of those people who want the justices to save us from the shame and danger of reelecting a president who tried to break democracy in his first term, try not to get too hopeful. Given the unprecedented nature of the case and the court’s composition, it’s likely that the justices will overturn the Colorado decision.The high court has several means at its disposal to overturn the Colorado ruling, none of which are ...

Dark Side Of the “Moon”

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:09:27 GMT

For those who are sad about the sun setting on the DC era of the Snyder-verse, please do not fret, for those miss slow-motion battle scenes, unnecessary lens flares, and dark gritty unsympathetic characters who seem pissed off about saving mankind, Zach Snyder has brought forth his vision of the future with the science fiction saga Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire for all to enjoy. Depending on your definition of “enjoy.” At least, that was the intention. But it is doubtful that many will enjoy this wannabe Star Wars for much of anything other than one-star zingers on Letterboxd. Conceived by Snyder decade ago, the original space saga is the story of Kora (Sofia Boutella), a former soldier-turned-member of a peaceful farming community on the planet Veldt whose livelihood is threatened by the tyrannical Imperium, led by Atticus Noble (Ed Skrein), who rule the Motherworld. To protect her people, she goes on a quest to gather warriors from different corners of t...
