Solar Observation Portal

Sun

Since ancient times, the Sun has been a god, a clock, a chariot, an eye in the sky, and a fire sinking into the underworld. This portal follows that ancient obsession through a modern lens: Nikon P1000 observations of the Sun at the horizon, where light bends, refracts, divides into spectral colors, flattens along the horizon, flashes green at the edge of dusk, lingers beyond sunset, and manifests the strange atmospheric phenomena we call mirages, refraction, and the Novaya Zemlya effect.
“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. This is an error of the intellect as inevitable as that error of the eye which lets us fancy that on the horizon heaven and earth meet.” — Arthur Schopenhauer
