Is this something that is always or normally being monitored by others, most specifically amateurs (not professionally paid NASA employees)? I'm just wondering if it's a measurement that is just typically taken for granted and not really checked on outside of circles like ours where celestial objects are regularly accused of not being where they should. Would others have noticed this or be looking for it? |
Dr. Astro (OP) Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 4211721 United States 12/06/2012 09:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey Astro, Quoting: CalmShock 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. 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. I saw his video, he described a motion considerably larger than 6 arcminutes. And yeah, it's not like the constellation Orion grew legs and started walking around the sky. |

I understand the pressure of the situation in a researcher who has just discover something and is in a rush to confirm and dont wanting to be a smart a$$ (pls correct me if im wrong), but... In an earth axis movement Orion ***Relative to the other stars*** is *Not* moving, its *The Whole Sky who is moving* Orion including *BUT* in *Relation with the Earth Soil and the observer* Not with the surrounding stars The only way to see it is from the position of Orion in a different place in the sky in relation of where it should be this time and day of the year (this including the whole sky) Compare it with the other stars nothing have change and nothing will be noticed. So the only way to notice is by memory (very difficult because of the very small change) or by using an *old* astro program (secure info from old not changed data). |

Would others have noticed this or be looking for it? Quoting: Gratia Plena They would notice it, even if they weren't deliberately looking for it. For instance, some amateurs polar aligned their telescopes using an iterative method that requires Polaris to be at the expected offset from the north celestial pole. Other amateurs also have permanently polar aligned telescopes. These guys would start to notice that their polar alignments are no longer as accurate as they should be, resulting in a drift in declination during long exposure astrophotography. |
