Check out twilight at the south pole! [View all]

Nautical Twilight started on August 22. The sun will rise on Sept 23. It stay risen until March 21st, then civil twilight will begin and nautical twilight will continue for a month.

Here's the last snap. If you see a big white ball in the sky, it's the moon!

It's rare to see a good twilight shot on the south poll cam. The moon often interferes and the earth's rotation forces the sun to appear out of the camera's view. I got kinda lucky.
