Details:
On the 18th of March, when the sun rises in the east and crests the far hill, its light becomes centred down our hallway. The house, where I live in Kent, England, is almost perfectly oriented to the compass directions North-South/East-West. The central hall was laid out East to West. I like to think of this passageway as being similar to Ancient Astronomical Sites around the world. Civilizations aligned Pyramids, Temples, and Ziggurats with the sun's first light as it rose over the eastern horizon at the Spring Equinox. Often doors and windows in these Observatories allowed this sunlight to reach central chambers inside. The actual moment when the sun shines directly on the earth’s equator, during its yearly orbit, will take place in a few days.
