[quote:Geogal 373387:MV81NjAzNTVfODU5NzcyMV9CMTk0NTZBQg==] LOL! Sorry. I guess what I wrote was misunderstood... I meant the pictures themselves had the same appearances with minute changes to each picture. Yes, I do agree that something with that long of an orbital period would take some time to pass by the sun in our area. [quote:Anonymous Coward 451897] Well, as I said, people can judge the info for themselves, and yes, of course it is a hypothesis. I will say, though, that something with a 3,600 year elliptical orbit would necessarily take some time to pass by and head back, so I don't consider the changes to be minute really. For a comparison, it takes Pluto 248 years to complete one orbit around the sun. [/quote] [/quote]

What can I say besides, Good Lord, this thread brought every crazy that has ever visited GLP. And, uh, thanks for 34 pages of craziness.
A special thanks to Geogal. She tried her best to teach people here and she's awesome. Thanks Geogal.
In the past, I noticed the sun would set closer to Mount Evans at this time of year. That's on the front range of the Rocky Mountains in Denver, Colorado. Then after the summer solstice, it would start moving south again.
For the past couple of years, the sun has been setting much farther north -- closer to the Eagles Nest Ridge by Vail and even beyond that this year near Rabbit Ears pass as viewed from Denver.
It's very noticeable from where I live and easy to tell the huge change from earlier years. Just thought I'd share.
