@kritischelezer@mastodon.social - it's only possible for the Sun to trace out this path in the sky if you're in the northern hemisphere facing south. You can't see this if you're in the northern hemisphere facing north, and you can't see it in the southern hemisphere.
I've been to Australia, I know from personal experience - but it's also possible to figure this out just by thinking.

@johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz Doesn't this depend on whether you're beyond the Tropics, rather than just hemisphere? And between the Tropics, you can see either depending on the tone of year? @kritischelezer@mastodon.social
