The March Equinox 2012
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...omy.html?n=468
The South polar coordinate is now turning through the circle of illumination and away from the Sun which will disappear for the next 6 months at those coordinates.In short,it is an orbital cycle and the polar day/night cycle under consideration here where daily rotation and its effects are set aside. The distance turned by the coordinate from the time it enters the circle of illumination/when the Sun disappears to the time it exits in late September and the Sun re-appears defines the orbital traveling axis around which these polar coordinates turn,In the Northern section it would appear to be above North-Eastern Alaska.It is treating the polar coordinates as arbitrary turning points to the central Sun and ignoring the daily rotation of the planet that defines the North/South orbital points which cause the Sun to set tomorrow at the South Pole and rise at the North. |
