<p>I was going to ask a question about why the sun is not due south at noon throughout the year.  There was a discussion on this site about daylight savings time, GMT, longitude, time zone boundaries and train schedules.  I found a very interesting and more astronomical explanation here: <a href="https://darkskydiary.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/the-equation-of-time/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://darkskydiary.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/the-equation-of-time/</a></p>

It's a good link, but your post isn't really a question. Please rework it as an answer to e.g. this question: https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/q/6920/2536

In particular, [Henning Makholm's answer](https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/a/6929/239) to the linked question specifically addresses the equation of time.
