This is very cool.
Tangent idea: it seems like the way we describe Earth's movement in space (rotation + orbit + precesion) is akin to the image of the hand that draws itself; where instead of describing the whole trajectory, we instead describe it in terms of "circular components" (rotation, orbit and precesion, yes I'm aware the orbit is not perfectly circular).
The closest visualization of Earth's "full trajectory" in space, that I've been able to find, is a video on YouTube (https://youtu.be/0jHsq36_NTU https://youtu.be/0jHsq36_NTU), which unfortunately is a bit exaggerated and not very accurate.
Has anyone seen something better than the above?
