***Sunrise/sunset.** These two displays show the previous and next apparent sunrise/sunset times (indicated by `1` or `0` on the seconds tubes – during the day, it shows sunrise then sunset; at night, sunset then sunrise). The times are calculated using the latitude, longitude, UTC offset, and auto DST rule specified in the [options](#optionsgeography), and shown in the same 12h/24h format as the time of day.

* NOTE: At this writing, the times may be incorrect by a few minutes, depending on [your longitude and time of year](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dYchVCJAuhvosrCdtEeHLT3ZXcLZK8X0UtENItZR32M/edit#gid=0). I believe this to be a rounding error(s) in the [Dusk2Dawn library](https://github.com/dmkishi/Dusk2Dawn) (compared to the [NOAA Solar Calculator](https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/) it’s based on) and plan to investigate.
