Hi! How could the Sun be there on 18 April 44BC?! It seems on southern part of an equator. 18 april in 44BC would be about 28-th day from March equinox. In 44BC, March equinox would be on March 22 in julian calendar, so, how can the Sun be on top of the southern part of an equator, on about 28-th day from March equinox?! Is not that 'red ball' on this graphic imitating the Sun?!

- I can't pretend that I understand completely the physics of the thing; but the coordinates in the article match those in the source, so I don't think that they need to be changed. Perhaps the time of day (rotation of the earth) has something to do with it. Does this diagram clear up matters at all? Deor (talk) 13:19, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
