the suns path is on the flat circle bottom part. the suns path goes
round and round on the flat circle part. Think to yourself where would
Polaris be 90 degrees overhead at the zenith. THis is at the North
Pole. Because the sun has the same path this celestial hemisphere
diagram can be dated for March 21st where the sun rises only
 AKA Vernal Equinox or September 21st where the sun sets
 only. Another reason why the sun has the same path if you dont
