    I’m from just about the arctic circle and it doesn’t really look like that. I think.

    Maybe if you go above the polar circle

      Yes, you’d have to be above the Arctic circle. Search “midnight sun timelapse” images, and you’ll find lots of examples. It is not actually a straight line, but moving on a curve. At this level of zoom, the curve is not apparent

      Yeah idk, I think it’d happen near the solstice at ‘night’ when sun doesn’t really set but yeah I guess it’d never be perfectly horizontal and I don’t live in the Arctic circle myself so have never seen it. Maybe it’s all a big hoax, who can say
