Default The awful pivot

It is now showing up everywhere with a NASA imprimatur demonstrating the damage image manipulation can do -

That is a product of RA/Dec modelers as the original Sun centered astronomers used the motion of the Sun directly through the Zodiac whereas those who used the Equatorial Coordinate System have the Sun bounce up and down annually against the Earth's rotational equator projected into the solar system..

So, in an neighbourhood where the moon's circle of illumination runs parallel with the Earth's, the main organisation responsible for space travel chooses to project a pivoting circle of illumination off the Equator on a planet with a zero degree inclination.

People must have no shame nor intellect but what is the wider world supposed to do when the information is coming from the large organisation tasked with investigating space for students.
