Walk through time
Earth's tilt drifts slowly — about a degree every few millennia. Slide through the years and watch each monument's sunrise direction shift on its own horizon.
A calendar of turnings
The four hinges of the year, each marked across cultures by walks, processions, and gatherings.
The sun's figure of eight
Stand at solar noon every day for a year and trace where the sun is. The shape it draws is the analemma — a slow, elegant figure-of-eight written by Earth's tilted, elliptical orbit.
Where dawn comes from
At the equator the sun rises near due east all year. The further from the equator, the wider its swing — until at high latitudes there are months when it never rises at all.

Tomorrow vs today
Around the equinoxes, the day grows or shrinks by 2–3 minutes per 24 hours. Around the solstices, almost nothing — the sun pauses.
