During the week of the Equinox, September 18-23, 2017, thirty individuals photographed the sky using cameras and cell phones. They were asked to photograph the sky, facing the pole in their hemisphere, and each person noted the coordinates of their location. This image is the result of the collaboration between Polar Educators International and interdisciplinary artist Kim Abeles.
