Solstice-Equinox


As part of an Astronomy Project about aparent solar motion around the year students of Escola Secundária de Loulé have taken pictures at equinox (23rd of September 2008-left) and at winter solstice (22nd December 2008-right). As can be seen the aparent motion of sunset along the year is quite obvious. At equinox sunset is at a much more northern point than at the winter's solstice.
