A second shift of cloud, the sun now "passing its warmth across the land, and the mountain seemed to explode with light".
Shane D. Mickelson, a 31-year-old helicopter pilot, wrapped up the details of the night shift as the sun rose over a patch of Colorado scrubland intended by the Army to mimic the deserts of Iraq.
The facade will be made of precast concrete panels that appear to shift as the sun moves across them.
The latest analysis, done at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., found that natural shifts in the output of the sun and other factors were responsible for the warming from 1900 to 1950, but could not explain the sharp and continuing rise since 1970.
Even though Jupiter orbits about 500 million kilometers away from our sun, for example, the planet's huge mass can shift the sun's center of gravity by more than 10,000 kilometers, enough to possibly reveal the planet's presence to alien astronomers.
Central to inferring the operation of a time-compensated sun compass is the clock shift (or phase shift) procedure, in which animals that have had their endogenous diurnal clock phase-shifted predictably misinterpret the geographical direction of the sun and orient in a direction appropriate to their own shifted subjective time (Wallraff, 2005; Wiltschko & Wiltschko, 2009).
I would have gone on watching her, but the angle of the sun shifted and she disappeared into the reflection.
A Nubian village built for people displaced by the Aswan dam lay to our right, the soft blue of its houses shimmering and shifting in the sun.
The new statistical reviews are difficult because they have to tease out the impact of greenhouse gases from natural variations, such as periodic El Nino warmings of the Pacific, sun-dimming volcanic dust or shifts in the sun's output.
"Rabindranath" means "lord of the sun"; it announces a shift from the invocation of the gods in Bengali naming toward names that suggest or contain light or radiance.
