Dr. PhD User ID: 23168991 United Kingdom 12/06/2012 08:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dr. Astro - I thought you would have know this. The declination of Polaris for the equinox J2000.0 (i.e. the beginning of the year 2000) was +89° 158242; 518243;. Precession is causing the pole to move closer to Polaris and its declination is now +89° 18', which makes it 42' (0.7°) from the north celestial pole. It will continue to get closer to the pole until the end of the century, when it will be 0.5° away. Your location on the Earth only affects the altitude of the pole and Polaris above the horizon and not the separation of Polaris from the pole. The pole would appear 32° above the horizon from your latitude (i.e. it is the same value as your latitude). So you can complete your tests, but this is normal. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26202851 Tomorrow he'll say everything is fine, it was the flimsy tri-pod that gave him a false measurement. Repeat: It only takes a set of eyes (if you use them) to see the sun, moon, and stars has shifted in relationship to the topographical landmarks here on Earth. What does this mean? The magnetic poles are shifting, good luck and enjoy the ride If you think those have shifted enough to notice them by eye then your not using your eyes right. Eclipses still happen on schedule. Stonehenge still works. Manhattanhenge still works. The Inidana native american mounds still line up with the soltices.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29130142 Finland 12/06/2012 09:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mods, please forgive my cross-posting this from the other thread, but I believe this anomaly deserves its own thread until resolved. Updates will be forthcoming. Quoting: Dr. Astro While testing the rather silly claim that the constellation Orion moved out of place, I found that Orion was where it should be, but the offset from Polaris to the north celestial pole appears to be off from the expected value by about 6 arcminutes. This may be due to flexure or settling in the flimsy camera tripod, but the only way to know will be to repeat this measurement telescopically. Further posts will detail repeated measurements starting tomorrow if weather allows. Appreciate your view on this a lot, Dr. Astro! I'm not nearly as educated as you in this particular area, but still understand well enough to have become convinced, there is something causing these observations made by many, including myself. Now I don't have the gear to make any measurements and haven't had the patience to come up with any home-made arrangements, but I have definitely noticed things such as the sun's position appearing to be significantly different from where it "should" have been at that particular time, etc. The weird thing is, these anomalies appear to be taking place only now and then. Should this have something to do with Earth's axis "wobbling" or anything alike, then that should certainly be picked up by many professional and amateur astronomers alike - just as you Dr. Astro mentioned in the original Orion thread ( [link to www.godlikeproductions.com] Astro, from previous experience I know how thorough you are with your analysis. The fact that you're saying there might be something to this tells me very much, especially since my personal observations and "an educated hunch" are pointing the same way. Very much hoping for further details! And thanks for the excellent work! |

[link to www.space.com] [link to mydarksky.org] Precession is being known from antiquity, but I am sure that Dr.Astro knows that. I mean it is a 101 subject in elementary Astronomy. Dr. Astro is claiming an instant jump of 6 arcminutes (either of Polaris or the Earth's axis, I cannot figure since my english are not the best), which is clearly a wrong measurement, since an axis movement would fuck up the view of the whole celestial sphere and Polaris system wouldn't be able to jump 4 light years away from it's initial position. |
