Stonehenge  

Diagram to show the double circle of stones arranged to aline the rising and setting of stars used to keep track of the seasons. The directions and times are calculated for the latitude of Stonehenge where Vega just dips beneath the northern horizon and the star Capella never sinks below it. Vega setting in evening twilight in early March and rising in evening twilight in early April announces the coming and going of the vernal equinox, when Capella is seen skirting 7 degrees above the North point of the horizon at lower transit in morning twilight. Castor setting in morning twilight in early March also warns the coming of the vernal equinox. Sirius rising, Altair and Fomalhaut setting in morning twilight in late August anticipate the onset of the autumnal equinox. The approach of midsummer day is announced by the Pleiades rising and Antares setting in the morning twilight at the end of May. Midwinter is announced by Aldebaran setting in morning twilight in late November and the setting of the Pleiades and the belt of Orion with the rising of Antares in morning twilight in early December. Fomalhaut skirting the South point of the horizon in evening twilight about January 1st announces that the solstice is past. The November quarter-day is announced by Deneb skirting 5 degrees above the North point of the horizon at lower transit in morning twilight.
