THE SUN AND MOON DAGGER TRILITHON

The Sun & Moon Dagger Trilithon forms an image of the sun (or moon) on the ground, and three daggers of light. Two graze the upright stones mid-morning and mid-afternoon and the third reaches out to touch the sun or moon image at transit (local noon for the sun). The angle of the grazing daggers changes with the seasons: the solstices and equinox positions are indicated by smoothed triangular areas on the north faces of the uprights. These events are observable every clear day and nights near full moon.
