   Explanation: [4]A planet-wide collaboration resulted in this remarkable
   array of sunrise photographs taken around the [5]September 2022
   equinox. The images were contributed by 24 photographers, one in each
   of [6]24 nautical time zones around the world. Unlike more complicated
   civil time zone boundaries, the 24 nautical time zones are simply 15
   degree longitude bands corresponding to 1 hour steps that span the
   globe. Start at the upper right for the first to experience a sunrise
   in the nautical time zone corresponding to Coordinated Universal Time
   (UTC) + 12 hours. In that time zone, the photographer was located in
   Christchurch, New Zealand. Travel to the west by looking down the
   column and then moving to the column toward the left for later sunrises
   as the time zone offset in hours from UTC decreases. Or, you can watch
   a video of [7]September 2022 equinox sunrises around planet Earth.
