Student Designs Vietnam Veterans Memorial Maya Lin was an architecture student at Yale University when she completed a special
class assignment-a monument to veterans of the Vietnam War. The assignment was
inspired by the October 1980 announcement of a national design competition for such a
memorial to be built in Washington, D.C. Lin's professor gave her design only a B but
encouraged her to enter it into the competition. More than 1,400 entries were submitted
and judged anonymously. Most of the other entrants were trained architects, whereas Lin
hadn't yet completed her degree in architecture. Yet Lin's design took first place, earning
her $20,000 in prize money. She later wrote, "From the very beginning I often wondered,
if it had not been an anonymous entry ... but rather an entry by Maya Lin, would I have
been selected?"
What is the main idea of the passage?

Explanation:

The position of the Sun in the sky is a function of both the time and the geographic location of observation on Earth's surface. As Earth orbits the Sun over the course of a year, the Sun appears to move with respect to the fixed stars on the celestial sphere, along a circular path called the ecliptic.

Earth's rotation about its axis causes diurnal motion, so that the Sun appears to move across the sky in a Sun path that depends on the observer's geographic latitude. The time when the Sun transits the observer's meridian depends on the geographic longitude.
