Illuminations is from the equatorial plane.
Or you can view the same thing from far below the south pole . This series of renderings shows the Geographos model rotating as viewed from its equatorial plane. These pole-on views have lines of latitude and longitude at 10 degree increments. Here are equatorial views with the same latitude and longitude lines drawn on the shape. Here's a great image sequence by P. Pravec showing the brightness of Geographos changing over time.
