Library as solar observatory


As the sunset comes sooner day by day, the point of sunset on the horizon likewise moves southward until a few days before the winter solstice. Then it starts moving back northward. The Central Library at Indianapolis provides a good place to track Sol Invictus at it travels along the horizon.

At the Central Library, sunset, November 27, 2009.
