Some speculate Serpent Mound represents a solar eclipse. Just beyond the mouth of the snake is a separate oval mound, which might be a depiction of the sun. The mouth of the serpent aligns with the setting sun on the longest day of each year: the summer solstice. It has been suggested the outer curves of the serpent align with movements of the sun and moon, but that has not been resolved, said Romain, who has been studying the mound for 25 years.
