The Celestial Equator, and grid of the Celestial Sphere appear in red, while the Ecliptic appears as the Green line, with the Equinoxes and Solstices labeled. The 12 classical constellations of the Zodiac are also drawn and labeled so you can see how the Sun appears to move across the sky as seen against the background of the constellations. Normally, scattering in the atmosphere would prevent us from seeing the constellations, but this computer-generated view was made with no atmosphere turned on in Starry Night. Watch also as the various planets follow the Sun across the sky, especially Venus and Mercury, which always hover close to the Sun (the bright one is Venus, here somewhat exaggerated in brightness by Starry Night). • Movie by Rick Pogge, composed using Starry Night Pro (v3.0)
