The optional high-contrast sectors begin at the calculated equinoxes and solstices. Season names show both hemispheres; the highlighted sector contains today. The cyan ray tracks Earth’s current progress through 2026.
Planet locations use current heliocentric vectors in a right-handed J2000 ecliptic frame; the view is calendar-rotated without mirroring. Approximate positions: NASA JPL Keplerian model, 1800–2050 ↗
