January Figure 8

TheFigure 8 of the polar wobble has been complicated by the lean to the left, which allows the Sun to be visible early over the curve of the Earth, appearing far to the North. Measures from each of the zones shows that the forward loop over India has the Sun to the South on rising but North on setting, the reverse of a backleaning loop over New Zealand which has the Sun to the North on rising but South on setting. Compare to December trends.
