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. |
