Daylight Savings Time? Meh... check out what Somalia gets
In America we set our clocks back an hour tonight (technically early tomorrow morning) which is notable but not the end of the world.
In Somalia tomorrow they will witness something that would, in an earlier era, have been seen as unmistakably representing the end of the world.
Toward the end of the day the sun will begin going into eclipse, and will reach total eclipse just as it sets.
If one did not know about eclipses that would make for a long and anxious night! You wouldn't know whether the sun would rise at all.
