They had to alter the imaging from the EPIC satellite to conform with the actual relationship between the North/South poles to the orbital plane and dark hemisphere of the Earth in the September time lapse otherwise they retain an Earth with a zero
degree inclination.
No point in cursing the darkness when it is easier to light a candle. Those who follow the expansion and contraction of the surface area where the Sun remains in view or out of sight will come to enjoy the power of the Earth's motions.
The Sun remains constantly in view at the South polar latitude presently and its observed motion described the smallest possible circle presently on the December Solstice.

Even if it were considerably more difficult to light a candle than to curse the darkness,
the former is still preferable, because it accomplishes a useful result.
It must be difficult for those who do not practice solar system research this time of the year, whether through science fiction (Royal Society empiricism) or science fantasy. They have nothing to celebrate and especially at this time of the year as
locations further North of the Equator spend less time in solar radiation and the light generated by the Sun.
The great cycles go on whether men come or go so that leaves those who journey through life to appreciate those motions which made their lives possible and that includes the seasons and much of biology which lives by that great cycle.
