Explanation:
A planet-wide collaboration
resulted in this remarkable array of
sunrise photographs taken around the
September 2022
equinox.
The images were contributed by 24 photographers, one in each of
24 nautical time
zones around the world.
Unlike more complicated civil time zone boundaries,
the 24 nautical time zones are simply
15 degree longitude bands corresponding to 1 hour steps
that span the globe.
Start at the upper right for the first to experience a sunrise in
the nautical time zone corresponding to Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC) + 12 hours.
In that time zone, the photographer was
located in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Travel to the west by looking down the column
and then moving to the column toward the left for
later sunrises as the time zone offset in hours from UTC decreases.
Or, you can watch a video of
September 2022 equinox sunrises
around planet Earth.
