Eclipse movie 5-20-2012 rotated to lunar orbit plane

In this second animation, the image is rotated to the plane of the lunar orbit. Celestial north is up; celestial west is right; celestial east is left. The moon enters from celestial west (right) and exits celestial east (left). The 2012 RASC Handbook lists the position angle of Sun at -21 degs, near its maximum. (The position angle is the number of degrees between an object's north pole and the celestial north pole, measured eastward.) The Sun's position angle in part accounts for why the Sun's angle of apparent rotation with respect to the ecliptic appears high.
