The date of this picture is claimed to be 11 Oct 03. At that time of year the sun would be centered about 7 degrees below the equator and the area 4 degrees south of the N pole would be in twilight at midday. The presence of weak shadows indicate that the picture had to have been taken prior to the autumnal equinox. W.R. Newberry the preceding unsigned comment is by 76.179.66.161 (talk • contribs)
