The Polar day/night cycle and the surface rotation behind it as distinct from the daily day/night cycle was hampered by the notion of axial precession.. The student or interested adult would hardly be capable or familiar with the necessary modifications required to push the dual surface rotations into wider circulation let alone account for the precession of the Equinoxes as a flaw in the original work principles of the old astronomers such as seen in Huygens -

"Here take notice, that the Sun or the Earth passeth the 12. Signes, or makes an entire revolution in the Ecliptick in 365 days, 5 hours 49 min. or there about, and that those days, reckon'd from noon to noon, are of different lenghts; as is known to all that are vers'd in Astronomy" Huygens

What a wonderful opportunity to work through the intricate principles and introduce more productive ones however living in an era where researchers won't accept the number of times the planet turns within an orbital circumference makes such an endeavor impossible.

Stealing money from the taxpayer is fine if that is all the empirical 'astronomers' want to do but it doesn't excuse the normal person who may dwell on topics such as the polar day/night cycle and how it plays out for the observer at the North and South poles.
