There are many articles out there presently with the usual awkward
explanation for the Equinox including hideous graphics - http://earthsky.org/ With hundreds of billions of dollar worth of graphical resources across many thousands of research institutions including NASA,is it too much trouble to ask one responsible person familiar with graphics to set this image in motion in order to project a more accurate and more enjoyable explanation for the Equinox - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earth_precession.svg Watching the polar coordinates act like a beacon for the orbital behavior of the Earth over the course of an annual orbit as they turn wrt the central Sun is more in tune with the 21st century than having the Sun cross the celestial sphere equator and sometimes it is dismaying to see many good 3D graphics of Earth and no proper perspective which shows the polar coordinates turning to the central Sun rather than the older explanations which rely on variable 'tilt'. The orbital motion of the Earth carries the polar coordinates around in a circle and indicative of all other locations on the planet,it should not be anything other than a pleasant experience to put this perspective before readers with all the information and analogies at our disposal. |
