   Summary Authors:  Alessandro Liberatore;  Marco Meniero

   The above shows what happens if you photograph the path of the Sun from
   two different latitudes. Both images were made near the time of the
    December solstice and portray the movement of the Sun in the sky
   during a 24-hour period. The one on the left (December 26, 2021) was
   captured from the  Italian Concordia Antarctic Base, where at this
   time of year the Sun never sets.

   The photo on the right (December 20, 2016) was taken in Tuscany, Italy
   and shows the Sun and also twilight and star trails about the North
   Celestial Pole. At Italian latitudes, and everywhere in the
   mid-latitudes and tropics, the Sun always rises and sets. In the
   Northern Hemisphere, only at latitudes higher than the  Arctic
   Circle (approximately 66.34 degrees north latitude) will the Sun remain
   below the horizon or above the horizon for an entire 24-hour period.

   Photo details: Both shots were taken using with Photoshop's Photomerge
   feature, and once the panoramas were complete, Photoshop's Polar
   Coordinate / Units Distort filter was used for the spherical
   projection.
