Default Sunset at the South pole

The dark sector camera says it all -

Being among people in the 21st century who are simply uninterested in the surface rotation behind that event is quite an experience, after all, all daily sunsets arise from a surface rotation so no real effort is required to apply the separate rotation to the annual event at the South pole at the March Equinox.

It is not everyday that people wake up to celebrate a dawn or twilight with a new surface rotation behind it but if people think about it for a while they will adapt to that perspective.
