under the grip of near-zero, and in some cases sub-zero, temperatures
(Fahrenheit), along with many inches of snowfall, it may seem ironic
that this morning the Earth reaches the closest approach to the Sun. The
Earth reaches the point in is orbit of the Sun called perihelion on
Saturday morning, 2014 January 4 at 6:59 a.m. EST (11:59 Coordinated
Universal Time).</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><a href="http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2014/01/earth-closest-to-sun-sat-morning.html">http://spacewatchtower.blogspot.com/2014/01/earth-closest-to-sun-sat-morning.html</a></div><div> </div><div><h3><font size="3">2014: 75th Year of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://buhlplanetarium.tripod.com/">Pittsburgh's Buhl Planetarium</a></font></h3><br>gaw</div><div><br>Glenn A.
