Continuous linked video transmissions show the sun occupying approximately the same spot in the sky (that is, right above the horizon before it sets).Video cameras are placed around the globe in such a way that the transmission can be switched every half-hour from one location to the next in order to "keep the sun in the same spot."

* This project is dedicated to the Russian scientist and thinker A. L. Chizhevsky, born 7 February 1897, who today is known as the founder of heliobiology; he was the first person to attempt to elaborate the way in which all living pro-cesses on earth, both biological and social, are dependent on the activity of the sun.
