Weird.

I live in Luxemburg (Europe) at the same place (small apartment) since January 2000. But since end Spring I've to lower the blinds of my second window in my living room to be able to work/play on my computer as the luminosité is too high. I've never had to lower the blinds on that window before and my screen/computer has been at the exact same place for years now. I thought it was me getting old or whatever but I start wondering if something is going on after all now.

Complete and utter poppycock --

1 - The sun doesn't shift -- it was shown long ago that the earth moves around the sun

2 - If the earth changed its position in relation to the sun there would be massive disruption in tides, massive crop failures, starvation and wars. (even more massive than I am sure people will point out - IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW) -- I am talking societal changing on an unimaginable scale.

3 - Brazillions of amateur astronomers through out the world would be wetting themselves to get on the internet to share their discovery. The orbit of the earth, the earths precession is known information that has been measured accurately for many many thousands of years. It is established set your watch to it science.

4 - Any one using a sextant to navigate -- and there are a few of us who can still do that. Would find that they were getting lost at sea, and numbers that had been used for hundreds of years would be meaningless.

These are just off the top of my head - but if the earth changed even subtly. The effects are not going to be such that you would have time to post on the internet saying that you might be noticing a difference. Hell there probably wouldn't even be an internet

So I am awe struck -- no I think I am actually gobstruck that this is a topic of converstaion.

I hadn't read the other thread mentioned about the sun but this is so weird. I live in the middle of the united stated (Missouri, St. Louis) and my office (rather, cubical) has a window that faces East. I've always been aware of the sun as in the morning it blinds me. This lasts until around 11 am. At which point the sun has risen enough to no longer blind me and starts its trek west. Well, a few weeks ago I noticed that the sun is coming in my space now way more from the north. Which means one of my monitors gets hit, then for a while I'm blinded. But only until 8am or so. Then the sun is so north of where it used to be that the angle of light now only hits my south wall. Something is afoot

Same here, window facing east for the last 4 years. This year I too noticed the sun rises more northerly than it did before, it's hard to tell how much, but it IS different. I thought I was mistaken, because hey, it's the sun...how could it be in a different position?? There must be a way to confirm one way or another. I hope we can collectively get to the bottom of this.

Could it be possible that the Geomagnetic Activity and the moving of the magnetic poles gives us a different perspective on the light entering our atmosphere ? It has the ability to move the aurora to different places and be seen . Could it be possible that we are experiencing the sun light slightly different then we were accustomed to . don't know just a thought ...peace

Well... the Earth did shift subtly and actually when that happens, and it does happen, the effects are barely felt at all. Aside from the last shift which shortened our days by, think NASA said 1.26 microseconds (millionth of a second in case there are Brazillions of people who don't know what a microsecond is).

Actually,
there could be another explanation.

What if the crust has "slided" "sled" (sorry English only my third language) at a certain moment during the year or past 12 months. The theory of the crust sliding over the upper mantle has already been tossed by some scientists. I remember reading something about that possibilité to explain why Antartica has not always been full of snow and ice.

Anyway.
This could explain why some people are seeing the sun (even the moon was mentioned by someone) at an unusual place without any change about the sun, earth, moon in our solar system.

The sunrise has been coming up hours earlier than it is supposed to. Even though you can watch it rise hours earlier - if you check anything on the internet, they give BS times for sunrise, which are usually hours off.

Anyone paying any attention at all has known this for many months now.

I noticed it in the summer of 2009 as I watched the setting sun progress north on the western horizon in 3 months. I would probably give it about 25-35 degrees of change in the horizon from south to north, location North-East Florida. Now the setting sun no longer shines in my house due to the foliage. Orion no longer passes anywhere in view from my house. Ursa Major(I think). is in view on the north side where it wasnt before. I do have some pretty big trees around so most of the sky is obstructed.
