At Newgrange in Ireland is a 5000 year old structure built to celebrate winter solstice. A tunnel is aligned with the sun such that once a year for a few minutes the suns rays illuminate an inner chamber. This structure is older than Stonehenge or the pyramids!
This year a webcam will transmit the event live on 21st and 22nd December.

Very interesting Peter. I hope to catch it. Thanks for the post.

Went through all of the tests Peter, still don't know if I will be able to watch. Thanks for sharing, really interesting.

Phillip,
You should see a hand with the fingers in motion, counting down, and hear some music.

Its only 150kbit stream so it won't be very high quality

Had to watch it from the archive...very interesting...Thanks

Yesterday was a perfect morning and quite magical.
Today the sun did not break thru the clouds until a few minutes after the sunrise hence no light in the chamber.

As Greg says yesterdays was archived.
