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.

I spent most of today at the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island. I met with and received a great tour from the Grand Secretary and the Grand Historian & Librarian.

Thanks to M.W. Glenn Carlson, Past Grand Master (and my 33° classmate) for the introduction.
