The light striking the back wall near winter solstice sunset
I have tried to make a Lotus 123 program that is
able to simulate the light beam at the back wall of Maeshowe. Remember
this is just a start with trying to simulate, if you have comments, please
let me known. Some
explanation is available.
Furthermore, my own investigations are also
present on the WWW-server.
