The evening began with a view of something shiny and bright hurtling across the evening sky.

There is a navigator's seat. Sitting in it, your eye is at the center of a skeletal sphere, with the summer and winter path of the sun indicated by the white arcs.

The circle shows the path of the Southern Cross around the South Celestial Pole.
