A new lot on the lake, tearing down the existing rowing center, or making an. addition to the boat bays were all considered. It was decided that the most practical option was an. addition to current facilities, for the ease and use of the athletes.
The Sun is also a star, so the Sun also rotates around the North Celestial Pole (Because we are so close to the Sun, the tilt of the Earth actually varies the exact axis of rotation of the Sun slightly away from the North Celestial Pole.) It is this rotation that will allow us to use the Sun to tell time.
This particular direction may have been emphasized because of the apparent motion of all other stars around a stationary point in the northern sky (presently Polaris) that results from the earth's rotation. An âempty space,â devoid of stars, is not found in the north.
