      Green laser shown on Antarctica’s South Pole station live camera feed, July 13th 2024.

      “The station is the only inhabited place on the surface of the Earth from which the Sun is continuously visible for six months; it is then continuously dark for the next six months, with approximately two days of averaged dark and light, twilight, namely the equinoxes.”

      They do a fair amount of astronomy work there. Plus a number of other fields of study taking advantage of the unique geography there. Maybe the laser is a part of it? If it’s dark, that’s a winter over photo. The station is down to a skeleton crew of scientists, a few support staff, and a doctor.
