   Wouldn't a week be 14 times the sun rising to its peak in the sky? Twice per day. The first time is day time and the second time is what would be nighttime closer to the equator.

   I only counted the sun rising to its peak 7 times. Makes me think it's only half of a week of video.

   Or am I completely wrong?

   InChicago,

   The point at which the Sun is highest in the sky would be noon, and at its lowest point, midnight.

   Watch the video again and you'll notice that midnight occurs every day when the sun is just above the mountain range in the distance. A little further South and you would actually see a sunset and sunrise.

   I live in northern Alberta, and in the height of summer we get maybe 3 hours of darkness. The sun is up when I go to bed, and the sun is up when I get out of bed.

   Could. not. live there.

   I'm sure it's beautiful to some people, but between endless daylight and winter's endless night, I'd go crazy.

   I have a friend who moved from Arizona to Alaska and it took her quite a while to get used to the long summer days and long winter nights. And she's not even near the Arctic Circle! For me, I think the extreme cold would be harder to deal with!

    Great video. I leave it to the mathematicians to describe the apparent motion of the sun (and why it's not straight up/down). Also, it would make a neat video if the camera exactly tracked the sun (vertical and horizontal), so the horizon looked like it was bobbing up and down instead of the sun.

    Beautiful for sure but I'd go insane in a matter of weeks without being able to have the nightsky to look at.
