Professor Meghan Gray discusses space co-ordinates and what sits at position 0,0 in the sky? More links and info below ↓ ↓ ↓
From Prof Gray: “Mea culpa dear viewers - as rightly pointed out by several commenters, the pinch point of the analemma is not where the equinox occurs. Instead it will be at the midpoint between the top and bottom. Thanks for the correction: happy to set the record straight in the service of science!”
