    The rotational orientation of the Earth in that timelapse is false as it corresponds roughly to the orientation around the March Equinox in contrast to the orientation around the September Equinox.

    I do not belittle people although there is dismay and slight irritation that with all the magnificent imaging, the study of the Earth, its motions along with the other planets in the solar system is in the hands of those who are incapable of expressing
    basic facts. Even in the NASA website, they have the Earth rotating in the wrong direction-

    It is though many people take pride in the havoc.
