Tracking Earth's axial tilt through solstice-equinox-solstice sunsets

On 12/21/2024 05:27 pm by Mark Martin | Website | Baton Rouge, LA, USA

I wanted to create images of sunset on the winter solstice, vernal equinox, and summer solstice. The western edge of Baton Rouge is the Mississippi River, seen in all three images. While difficult to see, there is a water tower across the River in Port Allen that is almost due west on the horizon. I used that water tower to align the images. Putting all three together demonstrates the sweep of Earth's axial tilt.
