Astronomy fun fact:

Excluding the sun, Jupiter contains more mass than the rest of the Solar System combined!

I love these pictures.

On the first day of summer (the longest day of the year) the weatherman in Chicago announced that on that day there would be 24 hours of sunshine at the North Pole. I apologize if this question has been asked before and I know it's off topic, but does that mean that instead of rising in the East and setting in the West, at the North Pole the sun would make a complete circle in the sky at some small angle above the horizon?

Thanks in advance.
