My first night on the ship, I looked out my porthole at about midnight, and saw something out of my ordinary experience – some light! It looked like what I would normally think of as the last bit of red/orange light after sunset. Of course we’re at high latitudes here, and it’s summertime, which means that the Earth is tilted so that the northern hemisphere is nearer the Sun. Grab a flashlight and a globe and try it out.
