Shouldn't it be geolocated, to be rotated accordingly? [[Special:Contributions/172.71.160.110|172.71.160.110]] 12:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC) | Shouldn't it be geolocated, to be rotated accordingly? [[Special:Contributions/172.71.160.110|172.71.160.110]] 12:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC) | ||
:You need to know where ''and when'' you are. Taking the 220 degrees (why not 140?) currently in the transcript as correct, that means Mars is at 50° azimuth, which a versatile but overly-fiddly astronomy app I have (why ''doesn't'' it remember I do manual orientation? ...it's flat out wrong when it tries to do it from device settings/current orientation!) suggests that Mars will reach 50° 'up', for me, at about 16:30 local time (could have checked when it fell back down to that again, but I didn't) at which point I could easily be sat facing whichever direction puts "Mars down" at a similar angle to the one seen in the comic. But it will change throughout the day, every day that it applies. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.162.244|172.70.162.244]] 13:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC) | :You need to know where ''and when'' you are.
