For whatever reason the quality of images from the webcam this year insults those who visit the website, where the aurora would normally be clearly visible there is a worthless view that any camera in the 19th century would surpass. There are supposed to be astronomers and researchers at the South pole so nothing more needs to be said.

When observers become comfortable with the planet's two distinct day/night cycles and their rotational causes, they may begin to consider how observations play out from the surface. The Sun comes into view at dawn and moves higher before descending to the opposite horizon as part of the daily cycle. The polar day/night cycle at habitable latitudes also has this feature where polar dawn presents the Sun at its lowest point at noon on the December Solstice in the Northern hemisphere and at its highest at noon on the June Solstice.

These references for the height of the Sun due to the planet's orbital rotation are free and clear of the local horizon and replaced by a noon reference . Of course the wandering Sun 'analemma' provides an obstacle to the partitioning of the planet's two day/night cycles by cause and all the productive effects which accompany the insight but I am confident that the treasure of productive work before researchers will allow them to just get on with the new approach to the seasons and variations in the natural noon cycle.
