Default June Solstice 2015

In terms of thew polar day/night cycle, the Northern and Southern polar surface points are reaching polar noon and polar midnight respectively. As our planet moves through space the entire planet turns with the North/South poles turning parallel with the Earth's orbital plane.

The Earth does not tilt toward and away from the Sun and the Solstice event tomorrow is meant to draw attention to the dual surface rotations to the central Sun as the cause of so many experiences known to the inhabitants on the surface of this gorgeous planet.

Default June Solstice 2015

There are quite a few articles out there at the moment regarding the Solstice with each one has the same variation on a tilting Earth theme that no longer has a place in the 21st century.

A more productive way to approach the Solstice is to draw attention to the single daylight/darkness cycle at the North/South poles in addition to the daily daylight/darkness cycle at habitable latitudes.

Although academics have a huge problem with the most basic fact where the appearance of the Sun daily followed by the appearance of the stars due to a single rotation is denied for pure fiction, there should be no problem appreciating that at the North and South poles the Sun's appearance for 6 months followed by the stars for another 6 months as the Earth turns to the central Sun in its orbital motion through space.

The flawed view of the apparent motion of the stars and its cause known as axial precession prevents people from appreciating the dual surface rotations which comprise the experience of dual daylight/darkness cycles in isolation or as the seasons as they become mixed together at lower latitudes.

It is time to move on this and apply all the necessary imaging and graphics in order to bring a fresh perspective to this great astronomical event which happens today.
