so by 'reverse osmosis' ;
if one photo'd the sun every day at the exact same time;
the tilt of the planetary axis,
and the eccentricity of the orbital body
could be deduced from the 365 solar dots?
or however many are in one orbit.
Fascinating!
======
Kind of like a gravitational field produces a parabolic curve in a traveling object,
and an acceleration field produces an elliptical curve in a traveling object.
That's how to tell if you are in a box that is not moving and on a planet,
or if you are in an elevator compartment accelerating upward!
Throw something across the room, level, and measure the curve traversed!

Todays APOD has a much better angle to determine the slope of the crater terrain!!! Thanks APOD photo selection men!!!
There are many 'gullies' along the view. Whatever it is that causes washouts or landslides. It looks more like a liquid event than a dry soil event, by the edges of the gullies.
