A friend shared an article investigating a recent claim on Reddit that earlier today, 8 July 2022, at 11:15 UTC, "99% of the world’s population" would simultaneously find themselves between dawn and dusk. This claim was soon popularized into a related claim that a similar percentage would "experience daylight" at that time. https://earthsky.org/earth/99-percent-worlds-population-receive-sunlight/ Spoiler: The original claim of 99% holds only if you use the most *technical* definition of twilight — including civil, nautical, and astronomical. In practice, most folks living in areas falling into the latter categories would perceive nighttime. But, as the article goes on to explore, however you slice it, it's still an impressive percentage of the global population "experiencing daylight" by any definition. -- Tim Parenti
