El Castillo pyramid at Chichén Itzá in the Yucatan, Mexico. Each year thousands flock to this site on 21 March at the Spring equinox to view the famous descent of the serpent caused by the Sun’s shadow on the steps. On 20 May 2012 there will be a conjunction of the Sun, Moon and the Pleiades accompanied by a solar eclipse that will sweep across central and western North America. Credit: Susan Hawthorne
