Edit: Apparently this image updates with the latest image every time you access this thread/post.
Also, the red arrow indicates where it is currently noon, but without factoring in Daylight Saving Time; so it's one hour off during DSL.

- Lyndon Johnson, on signing the Wilderness Act into law (1964)
