Newport Tower. Winter Solstice Illumination. Archaeoastronomy. December 21, 2021

I walked over to the Newport Tower this morning to witness the winter solstice illumination. 


Every December 21st at 9:00am, the sun shines through a precisely placed window in the Tower to illuminate the egg-shaped stone above the archway at center.
