A Sundial that Shows Solstice

COSMIC MESSAGE
This sundial in Valbonne Sophia Antipolis, France, is designed to spell out 'SOLSTICE' when the Sun is at its highest or lowest point in the sky. On the summer and winter solstices, sunlight streams through precisely placed openings to form the word. It's a clever way to mark these significant astronomical days.
