Default Appreceating the astronomical Equinox

Appreceating the astronomical Equinox occurs at dawn and dusk as the
Earth's axial longitude coordinates run parallel with its orbital
orientation at 90 degrees to the Sun.

As axial tilt remains constant,cataloguers generally prefer some
perceived change in Equatorial orientation to the Sun and dilute the
relevence of the Equinox to hemispherical climate division between
summer/winter.

The Equinox is the exquisite means to appreceate Kepler's second law
as the Earth's changing orbital orientation intersects the axial polar
coordinates and for a while the alignment of axial rotational
longitude coordinates and orbital orientation run parallel with each
other.

As cataloguers introduce an axial tilt component into the Equation of
Time and follow the significance of a 17th century cataloguing
creation called the analemma,one of the greatest astronomical
alignments in the annual cycle goes unappreceated.

I alone enjoy the spectacle while the rest of you remain stuck with
hemispherical seasonal changes in climate,unfortunately you prevent
the rest of humanity from enjoying a great astronomical spectacle and
teach only a diluted cataloguers view.

Why don't you lot change to sci.astro.cataloguing as a true reflection
of what you do rather than imagine that it is astronomy.
