Seven solar states × eight lunar phases create 56 possible Gates. The sky places this moment here.

Exceptional sky

Solar Eclipse

An exceptional physical relationship of Sun and Moon is occurring in this represented sky.

Begins here
Maximum here

Obscuration
Sun altitude at maximum
Current Gate

The eclipse adds astronomical context. It does not alter the Gate.

Eye safety

Use certified eclipse eye protection or an indirect viewing method during partial solar phases. Ordinary sunglasses are not sufficient.

The Axis

Celestial orientation

The celestial pole provides orientation without changing the Gate.

Altitude
Azimuth
Visible marker

The Axis orients the represented sky. It does not determine the Current Gate.

Stellar Witness

Direction

A Stellar Witness appears only when a restrained geometric threshold is met. It cannot change the Gate or predict an event.

Ancient Sky

The monument remains. The sky has moved.

Open the reconstructed sky above this place and move across the long arc of axial precession. This is an astronomical reconstruction of orientation and bright-star geometry — never a claim that a monument was designed for a particular star.

Upcoming Sky

What is approaching.

A short horizon of astronomical thresholds worth noticing. Moon phases and seasonal turning points are shown in the represented local time. Eclipses appear only when the detailed calculation finds them visible from the represented place.

Preparing the sky only because you asked to look ahead…

    Upcoming Sky is orientation, not prediction. None of these events changes the Current Gate before its actual astronomical boundary.

    Place

    Choose a horizon.

    Nine places, one instrument. Place changes the local horizon and therefore how this physical moment is seen. The photographs belong to the places; the Gate remains calculated from the represented sky.

    Place imagery is lazy-loaded and credited in the AUBREY56 image credits. Selecting a place changes the represented local sky; it does not claim that the places share one historical tradition.
