Re: Axial rotation measurement anomaly *Update on pg 21 - Problem Solved*
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.

I already accounted for precession. My measurement came out to be 35 arcminutes, not 42 as you point out it should be. I've done this many times before with the telescope and it always matched up with the predicted value after accounting for precession.

So closer to 7, or between 6 and 7 off then....
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 203360


Actually I believe the declination should be 89d 19' due to precession, not 89d 18', but either way I'm still looking at a measurement last night that just isn't right. All previous measurements were accurate to arcsecond resolution, but were made telescopically.

You know, if your calculations prove correct, you might write up an article and submit it for peer review to a scientific journal.
 Quoting: Nexus-9


Yeah, so maybe in a year or so from now we may have "an official" confirmation to this, right? =D

Just see what happened with 9/11: After thorough examinations, Niels Harrit et al published a peer reviewed article of remains of explosives found in the dust of the WTC towers. The result: everyone involved in publishing the study got mocked, the chief editor of the magazine had to resign, and the "official truth" about the thing still hasn't changed after many years.

The so called "scientific consensus" is a travesty in itself. Science should always be open to new ideas and observations, including ones that may appear wacky to begin with. But alas, "science" has by and large taken the place of religion and become a force of repression rather than emancipation.

Fortunately, that's not the whole picture. But still, waiting for mainstream "science" and/or media to take seriously anything considered to be "impossible", you may have to wait forever.

Hey Astro,

You said that Orion was where it was supposed to be yet Polaris may not be... If the earths axial rotation was off, wouldn't all the constellations have measurement anomalies as well?

Obviously I'm no astronomer and there very well may be a good explanation for this, so looking forward to seeing what you come up with tonight.
Hopefully you get good weather this evening.

If I went and got a telescope, how hard would it be for a beginner to take these measurements themselves?

Sorry for the confusion; Orion was where it should be relative to the surrounding stars. If my initial measurement of this anomaly is correct then Orion would be off from the axis of rotation by 6 arcminutes as well.

The movie Brave was the most obvious concerning Polaris. If one sees only the "real" described by left-hemisphere linguistics and visible light worship, it can't and won't be seen even when it's right in front of you.

I believe that the pole star is not always constant. In other words, it changes and perhaps we are getting a new one. But we may have to re-incarnate to see it.

I won't be seeing it from earth because i don't plan on re-incarnating here ever again if possible. We have not seen anything yet.

Have you watched that goofball's video in the Orion thread? Just eyeballing it, does where he says it moved too relative to the anomaly you have found thus far?

Of course Orion did not move, if anything, all constellations would be off because we moved.

What are the real implications of a 6 arcminute move in a short time?

If measurements in a week shown "9" arcminutes, etc. then we can begin to get a handle on how fast this is happening and whether it is accelerating as it goes...


Soon the mainstream would have to pick it up because the outside visuals would be undeniable at some point.
