The rise of the sun is seen at a 2,300-year-old structure
in Peru, between Tower 1 and Cerro Mucho Malo at the June
solstice, 2003,viewed from the western solar observatory.
The sunrise position at the solstice has shifted to the right
approximately 0.3° from the year 300 BC.
Our planet is tilted 23.5 degrees on its spin axis. On June 21
this year (some years it's June 20), the North Pole is pointing
toward the sun as much as is possible.

Above is Jay O. Sanders and Julie White. Today's
NYT has a nice article on the female leads. Interesting
that Shakespeare's wife was named Anne Hathaway. Hathaway
married Shakespeare in November 1582 while pregnant with the
couple's first child, to whom she gave birth six months later.
Hathaway was 26 years of age; Shakespeare was only eighteen.
Bo Diddley was referring to this song when he said
his last words. I was at a funeral once when this was
played. An outstanding Gospel piece.
