There is no astronomical reason for daylight saving time but there are good arguments against it. We hope to see a day when we revert to standard time year 'round. In the mean time, remember to set your clocks *ahead* one hour tonight and read Mark Boslough's excellent thread ⬇️

“Fall back” is standard time, which is also known as astronomical time or natural time and has been the standard since sundials were invented (therefore “standard” time). 12 o’clock was arbitrarily defined as astronomical noon, when the sun crossed the local meridian.
