In these views from ecliptic north, arrows (thinner when south of the ecliptic airplane) are the paths of the 4 inner planets. Dots alongside the remainder of the orbits are 5 days aside (and are black for the a part of its course {that a} planet has trodden because the starting of the yr). Additionally, semicircles present the sunlit aspect of the new and full moon (vastly exaggerated in dimension and distance). Moreover, pairs of strains level outward to the extra distant planets.
Phenomena reminiscent of perihelia (represented by ticks) and conjunctions (represented by strains between planets) are at dates that may be discovered within the Astronomical Calendar. Likewise, Grey covers the half of the universe under the horizon round 10 p.m. at mid-month (as seen from the equator). The zodiacal constellations are in instructions from the Earth at mid-month (not from the sun).
