The rising sun around the globe (July 20, 2009)

            I have this urge of witnessing dawn everywhere on earth in 24 hours.  This is very feasible with a versatile landing flying jet.  It does not matter where you start; pick a location on your globe; go there, arrange your visual and sound apparatus and wait for dawn to smile.  Enjoy the scenery, take pictures and video. Then fly quickly to another destination, land, and repeat the procedure for 24 hours.

            You should plan for different variations in sceneries. You may start by landing just in vast plains for 24 hours; then in just deserts, then on chain mountain tops, then in deep valleys, then on water masses such as oceans, seas, and large lakes.  You may repeat this experiment with selecting appropriate man made monuments and then compare what changed in dawn’s glory.

            You may repeat the experiment in various seasons; in various lunar statuses, in various planet realignments.  Does dawn changes? What dawn would you prefer? Would you select a location in your retirement to just watch your preferred dawn? Would that be worth the investment?

            Project dawn is very feasible and anyone with deep pocket could do it and then share the beauty of nature at dawn.  It would be advisable to record also the sounds of birds, wild life, the wind, nature awakening to dawn.  Take measurements of many parameters of the climate: who knows? Maybe dawn is different with a combination of environmental parameters since it is all perception after all.

            Since we started with dawn then how about studying the setting sun for 24 hours around the globe?  What about noon?
