problem with my research about pretty much anything space related is that I find everything so interesting I end up reading 20 other things at the same time

It's like I've always said--people just need more common sense. But not the kind of common sense that lets them figure out that they're being condescended to by someone who thinks they're stupid, because then I'll be in trouble.

Incidentally I wonder if this is the first question to reach HNQ, get migrated, and then hit HNQ again on the new site :-P Probably not the first, but it's certainly interesting!

Q: Why does the ISS track appear to be sinusoidal?

Okay, time for a stupid question, but it keeps me up at night trying to figure it out. The ISS 'route' appears on paper as such: I am imagining it has to do with a combination of its orbit and the tilt of the Earth, but if this is the case, on spring/fall equinox it should be a flat line, no?...
