Note: These times and elevations are at the point of closest approach
(peak elevation) for each city. ELSUN is the Sun's elevation for
that city at that time. BOOM is the estimated length of time
(MIN:SEC) after closest approach when the sonic boom may be heard.
It is unlikely that the boom will be heard if peak elevation is
less than 20 deg. Plasma trail visibility is best with sun
elevations less than approximately -10 deg.Note:
Central Daylight Time = CDT / CST = Central Standard Time
GMT = Greenwich Mean Time /UTC = Universal Time Coordinated
CST = UTC Minus 6 Hours
