Solar/Earth/Vehicle angle

It wouldn't take anything to adjust to the 23 1/2 degree by using the circle of illumination as a permanent fixed reference.

All of a sudden, after months of truly wretched webcam imaging, the pictures are coming through fairly clear. With dawn well established yet the Sun will not be seen for another 3 weeks, it is a good time to consider that the Earth's forward orbital motion through space turns the planet slowly thereby causing that singular astronomical sunrise on the Equinox.

It must be great being able to predict the eclipse and its cause yet here is the most amazing day of two types of sunrises on the Equinox and eyes goes blank.

I suppose in astronomical affairs none of you made it to adulthood so that doesn't make for any type of discussion which is regrettable. The RA/Dec system which forces a belief in one extra rotation added on to daily rotation instead of an entirely separate rotation also forces you into the motion of the Sun in a curve through the background stars.

Obviously you didn't get a sense that you were looking at the center of the solar system during the eclipse and the relationship of the inner planets to that center. It comes down to attributing motions to the planets themselves rather than the Earth's motion while terrestrial experiences of the seasons and the daily cycle rely solely on the motions of the Earth. Unfortunately none of you make the distinction hence the inability to enjoy astronomy in general or in detail.
