Great information. I think that the quicktime movie is fantastic, as I think it shows the planet and its tilt relative to the sun as earth orbits around the sun. I may be wrong (I don't think I am), but I think the tilt of planet earth remains constant. The movie offers a unique perspective on the earth's positioning throughout one cycle if you were to follow its movement from the stationary sun. Anyway, just a thought because I really like the movie. Thanks!
