About

An "overhead" diagram of the Moon's orbit around the Earth. A thin, tapering white line is the path of the Moon in the previous month. A blue-green racetrack represents the range of the Moon's distance and the plane of its orbit relative to the ecliptic; it is darker where it dips below the ecliptic plane. Apses and nodes are labeled. A yellow arrow points toward the Sun.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
