Best Correlation
r = 0.746
Orbital Position
Earth's orbit around Sun. Green arrow = Earth's velocity. Jul (A, bottom): velocity points RIGHT → aligned with CMB (yellow) → peak correlation.
Station Network
474 ground stations analyzed over 25 years. Colors show mean correlation strength. Globe rotates with day of year.
Axial Tilt
Earth's 23.5° axial tilt. Green arrow shows Earth's current velocity direction through year.
Equatorial Profile
Correlation vs RA along celestial equator. Green dot tracks Earth's velocity through sinusoidal pattern.
Directional Alignment
Angular separation between Earth's velocity (green) and best fit (white). 0° = peak correlation.
Physical Mechanism
Ground stations measure satellite clocks. Coherence maximizes when Earth's velocity (green) aligns with CMB frame direction.
Correlation Network
Ground stations (red) measure GNSS satellites (gold). Line thickness = correlation strength. Changes with Earth's velocity.
Distance-Correlation
REAL measured decay from 25-year average: C(r) = 0.126·exp(-r/3210km) - 0.010. R² = 0.945. Curve shape is constant; color shows current alignment.
Annual Cycle
Correlation vs RA along celestial equator. Green dot = Earth's current velocity direction (moves through year).
Real Data: 25-year averaged correlation pattern (1995-2020).

Directional Alignment: Shows angular separation between Earth's velocity (green) and best fit direction (white). Minimum separation (~0°) = peak correlation.

Key Insight: Correlation maximizes when Earth moves toward RA ~186° (near CMB dipole at RA 168°), hitting alignment in early July.
