There isn't a pin on the map saying, "You are here." That was my first thought, too, but if you put your mouse cursor over the image, the coordinate grid shown above appears. That coordinate system is centered (zeroed) on our Sun -- which is the ultimate "You are here" pointer...
bd476, thanks for posting this -- nice to see another APOD fan here on FR..
