Newgrange, Dec. 21st, 2007 (thus almost winter solstice day)

Due to change of obliquity the sun rise would have been different indeed (it would have shown to the end of the middle recess AND at the same moment the sun comes above the horizon.

This was in answer to sailingstargazr question:
Wonderful video. I'd like to know what you think, in a quantitative sense, about the actual sunrise position wrt the horizon versus the illumination of the shaft. Has anyone published the effect of precession on the alignmnet, to let us figure out what day is best for viewing an actual sunrise event? - Brian.

Thank you! - Brian.

pathetic attempt to cash in on an extraordinary event. Mind numbing crawl through a pretentious collage which is about as clear as mud. You spend more time trying to figure out what we are being shown than actually seeing something informative. Hilarious moment when several bodies stroll across the suns path blocking the whole reason for being there. Bet that was Victor Rejis himself Blockin up the passageway as he left the arena before the final whistle. "been there, seen it, gone."

you are a bitter little man. for the millions who aren't permitted in to see this all we can hope for is a tiny glimpse of it. not great but better than nothing

Wonderful and Beautiful.
The Skygeezers, Stargazers and Moonbeams are all thankful for this fine little program.

Here, near the South Shore of Lake Michigan. We would be in snow up to our ankles. Except there is an inch of ice on top. -- IndianaJohn

How wonderful! Thanks for making this video. The music was lovely as well.

This was really cool to watch. I'm really interested in this because the Winter Solstice is my birthday. Thanks for recording it!

wat a boring video!

Isn't this where the Morrigan is supposed to be buried?
