Stellar Snippets
It's that time of year when the nights come sooner, the leaves change color, the drinks get warmer, and the clocks are set backward an hour.
Be prepared to get an extra hour of sleep soon because on Nov. 5th at 2 am this year, daylight saving time begins.
Despite being grammatically incorrect, most people actually say "daylight savings time" with an "s" added to the end. The correct term is "daylight saving time."
You may have heard of the initiative to keep one time permanent throughout the whole year, the Sunshine Protection Act of 2021.
The act was approved by the U.S. Senate in 2022, but as of right now, has not begun.
According to Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., the problem is that no one can agree on which time to settle on - standard or daylight saving.
Back when Congress declared clocks be moved ahead one hour in 1918, Americans were recommended to go to bed at 8 pm to adjust to the change.
The change was supposedly made in order to save energy costs by matching the daylight hours with the time that Americans were awake.
As of right now, Hawaii and parts of Arizona, with the Navajo Nation as an exception, are the only two states that do not participate in daylight saving time.
