A planet with a zero degree inclination !!!

A pivoting circle of illumination off the Equator !!!.

The line ‘becoming’ vertical on the Equinox !!!

People throw around the word ‘flat Earther’ but that takes some beating and is exceptionally unpleasant. When a society looks at what actually is behind the seasons, the atrocious manipulation of imaging and data will cease so climate can go back to being an area of research like geology.


Typical of you to misinterpret both the picture *and* the story. That APOD never said anything about zero inclination, it only talked about the terminator being vertical WRT the Sun's pole, which happens twice a year when the inclination of the planet is either directly towards the Sun or directly away from the Sun.

Too bad you have no capacity for learning. You better get that broomstick out again and think a little more about what happens twice a year at the equinoxes...
