The center of the second bend
behind the head points eastward to where the Sun rises
on the summer solstice, and the center of the following bend targets the sunrise
on the spring and fall equinoxes when night and day are of equal length. While the center of the final bend is aimed where the Sun rises
on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. As for that intricately coiled tail, if you draw a straight line
from its exact center through the hinge of the serpent's jaws, you'll find it's precisely oriented
to true astronomical north
