Appearance
This figure appears to confuse arcsec and arcmin (`` and `) with seconds of time and minutes of time. These are not the same. In fact, at the equator, they differ by a factor of 15. A sideral day is 23h56m04s, not 23h56`04`` and those two are not the same thing.
Problem?
[edit]This image needs a correction. The third image on the right, of the yellow Sun with reference orange dot, marked 12:00:00, ought to match the first image, also marked 12:00:00. Can someone fix it?
- I'm pretty sure that's not true. The point is that while 1 solar day has passed (thus the sun is dead ahead) the star has stayed relatively "still", so that the star and the sun do not line up the next "day"
