... Similarly, the position of the South Celestial Pole gives a physical indication of due south that would be known simply by watching the changing configuration of circumpolar stars such as the Southern Cross. ...
... The south pointing telescope viewed across the geographic pole into the opposite temporal hemisphere as well as perpendicular ... They are therefore insensitive to the daily rotation of the Earth, viewing a fixed region over the southpole. ...
... Observations have been made from the SouthPole which confirm its excellent characteristics at infrared wavelengths, and site-testing is in progress at Dome-C (see Figure 12) which promises to be even superior (Burton 1999). ...
... When dealing with celestial coordinate systems and spherical projections (some moreso than others) it is often desirable to use an angular measure that provides an exact representation of the latitude of the north or southpole. ...
... When dealing with celestial coordinate systems it is often desirable to use an angular measure that provides an exact representation of the latitude of the north or southpole. ...
... However, measurements at short sub-mm wavelengths at both SouthPole and Dome C hold out the tantalizing prospect that ground-based terahertz astronomy could be routinely performed from Dome A in the Australian Antarctic Territory. ...

... South can be roughly determined at night by locating the south celestial pole and looking in the direction of the horizon directly below this point. ...
... Allan Day is going to escape the heat of a Narrabri summer in a serious way: starting in late October, Allan is taking leave-without-pay for 16 months to work at the SouthPole on the DASI experiment. ...
