Explanation:
The Sun is a
moving target.
Its annual motion through planet
Earth's sky tracks north and south, from solstice to solstice, as the
seasons change.
On December 21st, the solstice marking
the first day of winter in
the northern hemisphere and summer in the
south, the Sun rose at its southernmost point along the
eastern horizon.
Earlier this month, looking toward the Aegean Sea from a
well-chosen vantage point
at Cape Sounion, Greece, it also rose in
this
dramatic scene.
In the
foreground
lies the twenty-four hundred year old
Temple of Poseidon.
