Morocco “Land of the Setting Sun,” or Al-Maghrib in Arabic, has a star in a flaming sunset on the national flag. There is a nine-hour time difference between Japan and Morocco. The sun rises in Tokyo within two hours after sunset in Morocco. When we view sunrise in Tokyo, our eyes cross paths with people’s eyes in Morocco watching the sun set. This project lets us view sunrise in the Land of the Rising Sun in tandem with a real time projection of sunset in the Land of the Setting Sun.
