This is from the site **ccwaterback** referenced: “Scientists can’t determine the alignment until late this morning.” So, it’s late in the morning now. Anyone know of a site where we can get updates? ---

So, what I am getting at is, sometimes I find this site to be confusing and hard to navigate. … let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sun shine in … 🆒 ---
