Sunset at the South pole with the event due to a separate rotation to
your picture of daily sunset and its daily rotational cause.

You can't help yourself by inserting the 'vernal' description used by
celestial sphere enthusiasts thereby you are unable to appreciate the
Earth's two distinct day/night cycles with two types of sunsets happening tomorrow.

Don't make silly mistakes! His photograph was taken in the northern
hemisphere so it's the vernal equinox.


Notice that PC peterson hasn't chimed in yet about the OP's use of the term "vernal equinox."
