Carsten and Murray, I'm pleased to know you looked at it! I was rather impressed to see this bit of astronomy, accurate and appropriate to the date and time, especially given the context. I agree: the time was about 10:30-11:00pm Eastern US time. Murray, I'm impressed that you actually can do this --checking local time by looking at the Dipper-- without looking it up. Were you one of the guards at Elsinore in a former life?
What was the context? It's from a TED Talk. Or rather, it's from a talking Ted... with a Boston accent. Go figya.
