. If you were to trace out the path of the Sun in the sky throughout the year, such as with a pinhole camera , you'd find that the Sun follows a set of paths that all correspond to it rising somewhere in the east/northeast/southeast, reaching a maximum height overhead, and setting somewhere in the west/northwest/southwest.
With a large amount of atmosphere to pass through, light from the Sun reddens tremendously when it's close to the horizon. Neither the latest sunset of the year nor the earliest sunrise of the year corresponds to the summer solstice.3.) The solstices, despite being the longest and shortest days of the year, do not correspond to the earliest or latest sunrises and sunsets
. You might notice that the December solstice is very close in time to Earth's perihelion, where it makes its closest approach to the Sun, occurring in early January. Similarly, the June solstice is very close in time to Earth's aphelion, or its farthest distance from the Sun, occurring on July 4th of this year.
This includes cities like: Christchurch and Dunedin in New Zealand; Port Arthur, Bruny Island and Cape Raoul in Tasmania; Comodoro Rivadavia, the Falkland Islands, and Santa Cruz province in Argentina; about the southernmost third of Chile, and the entire continent of Antarctica. No one has ever taken a 360-degree star trail photo from Earth before. This photo was actually a 12-hour exposure, on a mount scheduled to rotate at a rate of 15-degrees-per-hour to create the almost 360-degree effect.7.) The solstices mark the most favorable time for taking the first-ever 360° star trail photo
The exact opposite is true during the winter solstice: the Earth's axis is maximally tilted towards the full Moon and away from the Sun. If you caught Monday's full Moon, it marked the highest full Moon of the year for observers south of the equator, while it marked the lowest full Moon of the year for northern hemisphere observers. If you come back for the full Moon of December 12, 2019, you'll catch the same phenomenon, except for opposite hemispheres.
