Latin version of below, made by me:

Illumination of Earth by Sun on the day of winter solstice on northern hemisphere.

Image by Przemyslaw "Blueshade" Idzkiewicz.

A view to eastern-hemisphere showing noon in Central European time zone (ignoring DST) on the day of winter solstice (on northern hemisphere - this is summer solstice on southern hemisphere).


Following third-party images were used to create this image:

  • "Earth's City Lights" [1],
  • and "The Blue Marble: Land Surface, Ocean Color and Sea Ice" [2].

These images come from an archive of American government agency, NASA and as such, they constitute "public domain" content.

Illumination maps were created using "Home Planet" [3] by John Walker.
