When does the time change for daylight saving time 2023? What to know before clocks "fall back"
CBSN
Daylight saving time for 2023 will end on Nov. 5 with most Americans having to "fall back" for the biannual time change and turn their clocks back an hour — and it looks likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.
Two Florida Republicans introduced the Sunshine Protection Act of 2023 in March to make daylight saving time permanent after the proposal faltered in the last Congress, but so far the bill hasn't made any significant inroads, all but guaranteeing that most Americans will have another year of changing their clocks.
Before this latest attempt to alter the biannual ritual started on Capitol Hill, "falling back" and "springing forward" caused considerable consternation amongst Americans. Parents who want their children to head to school in the daylight can appreciate "falling back" to standard time, but those who want the sun to shine long enough to play in the park after classes may want to keep daylight saving time year-round. Permanently keeping one over the other means people won't have their sleeping schedules disrupted twice a year.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched six space tourists on a high-speed dash to the edge of space and back Friday, giving the passengers — including a husband and wife making their second flight — about three minutes of weightlessness and an out-of-this world view before the capsule made a parachute descent to touchdown at the company's west Texas flight facility.
