I AM AN AMETEUR ASTRONOMER!
Yesterday, I noticed the sun was out of place. No question about it.
I have no pictures, no charts, no equipment.
I do, however, have a brain and my word! Quoting: Schmieder 324203
Let me get this straight... You claim to be an amateur astronomer, but you have no equipment and can't spell "amateur"?
My patio and garden has a portion of space that never sees direct sunlight before the afternoon hours. Quoting: Schmieder 324203
But you admit that you only had ONE previous year to determine that, remember?
The house shades that portion. Yesterday, my entire patio was in direct sunlight in the morning around 9-10am. This morning I went outside to check and it was back where it should be, as far as I can tell. Quoting: Schmieder 324203
You are claiming that the sun's position changed radically IN ONE DAY??? You are a fucking loony toon.
History of my patio does not lie! Quoting: Schmieder 324203
You are simply mistaken. Live with it.
I do not use illegal substances!
I have an IQ of 157!
People can lie to other people, but you can't lie to yourself.
Regardless of what Menow and other 'know-it-alls' say, the Sun wasn't where it belongs June 12th 2008 around 9-10am. Quoting: Schmieder 324203
And then it scooted back to where it belongs? See above. Loony toon.
Menow, you are a very disturbed individual. You must be, to argue every single post with such aggression and insulting nature. Are you paid to spread lies/cover the truth? Yeah, you must be paid by the post. What is it, $0.12 per posting?
Take it for what it is, or don't take it at all. My posting contributes, and does not pollute these forums with instant disagreement and conflict.
Peace! Quoting: Schmieder 324203
I do take it for what it clearly is. An error in observation. |

One of the payoffs to reading and posting to threads like
this is that they expand my learning. I take time to do
research on the net over the subject and that continues
to increase my knowledge and understanding. Kind of the
opposite of the folks who post "don't read them!", "they're
shills", or "they're afraid of our truth that we won't
prove!". All they do is react instead of respond on these
types of threads. Reminds me of church folks reacting out
of fear when confronted with something that might contradict
their belief system.
what a hypocrate. Quoting: DarkStarCrashes 450521
Note how the fearshill doesn't say HOW I am a hypocrite.

Oh my God!!! The Sun is rising too far to the east. And it rises more to the east each day. I think something major is going on because, guess what, its setting in the west as well. It must be the planet has flipped. I'm getting dizzy, so I've tried walking backwards on my hands, that helps.
I've been watching my garden as well. There's plants that don't get much sun and they don't grow very well, is it the pole shift, the zetas or the wombles. Now my curtains are fading faster on the northern side of the house, I want compensation. It's the NWO illuminati reptilians who are behind this. They're up to no good. I can feel it in my waters. |

Just because the pyramid has been there for thousands of years doesn't mean it has a lock on the Earths rotation. And we are talking about a wobble. Which happens during a specific time still to be understood. Obviously I'm not claiming our rotation has been permanently altered. More like a distortion seen in a spinning coin just before it falls. Quoting: Schmieder 324203
Well, that is interesting. Other bunkers are claiming otherwise, that the changes are consistent and predictable to the point that charts and programs have been altered to reflect the changes.
I love it when Woos collide.
Those two claims completely contradict each other. You all should get together and decide what you claim is happening, a random "wobble" or a permanent axis change. Either one is demonstrably false, but you really can't claim both depending on what suits your silly arguments in any given moment. |

I have to agree as crazy as it sounds. You'd think we'd see by now photos comparisons of solstices from now and from prior years showing nothing has changed. We've seen some pics but no comparisons, explanation or analysis. If this gets debated every year as claimed, then you'd think someone would have a proof by now. Someone show me then I will put it to rest. Quoting: DarkStarCrashes 450650

Easily explained. It is a common mistake for people to
assume that a road is either straight in one compass
direction like West, when even on a "westbound" interstate
you could be headed North or South. Quoting: DrPostman
Not the case, my GPS read dead West and the road is strictly East / West. Sure, there are curves but nothing that would alter the course of the Sun.

I am a REAL amateur astronomer
I have equipment.
I have charts.
I have pictures.
I also belong to my local astronomy club who hold observations at least twice a month. Once during the new moon and once for "sidewalk" astronomy for observing the Sun.
Not one member of our club has noticed nor commented on the Sun being out of position.
The chair I sit in in the evenings is next to a west facing window. At this time of year the Sun starts to shine through the window directly onto my chair. It will continue to do this until late fall. I've lived in this house for 4 years and this has happened every year.

And what evidence do you have to so surely prove this theory wrong?
Id like to hear it.
For Nibiru -
1. Climate change on earth
2. More frequent natural disasters
3. Climate change on planets other than earth.
4. Sneaky - Type in Nibiru into the NASA search engine and an eplanation into 'Planet X' comes up. Not direct evidence, but maybe a sneaky clue?
5. The amazing attention the Planet x theory is getting, not only on GLP where we have so many do gooders who despise fear mongering, but everywhere the subject is mentioned on the internet.
give me your 'Against' arguemnts. Thanks, im sure you will have plenty seen as your so hung up and caring about the whole subject. Quoting: Freeman 450670
None of your points explain how a large planet playing hide
and go seek in our inner solar system could be the cause, while
parsimony says Global Warming makes more sense. Plus the
fact that we have only been observing weather on other
planets for less than half a century.
Amazing attention? Go up to ten people on the street and
I bet NONE of them will tell you that they know anything
about a "Planet X".
Well I do not have any scientific data or charts etc....but the sun sure looks out of place to me, something is just not the usual norm, and it doesn't take a scientist to notice that ! Quoting: SkyWatcher
There is an invisible pink unicorn that follows you around.
I can sense it. Now, how does that make any more sense
than what you just said. I have posted links to things like
the Manhattan Solstice which prove that the Sun is right
where it's supposed to be. No one so far has come up with
any way to dismiss an image of an event that at least tens
of thousands witness every May 28/29th in NYC. Here it is
again:

Why not go to any of the MANY ancient sites that mark the

will be many thousands who do? Why not join them? Do you
fear having your assumptions challenged?

No, but you don't seem to understand that the Sun doesn't
ALWAYS set directly in the West, especially this time of year.

Professional just means you get paid for it.
Doesn't mean you are smarter or more observant than anyone else.
My college buddies often exhibited "blinders educated onto their viewpoint" by the narrow confines of Professors' entrenched views being swallowed by students like baby chicks swallow worms.
Simply stated.
If you live north of the Tropic of Cancer, and the sun ever shines on the north side of your wall.
The earth is tilted beyond the norm.
Similarly if you live south of the Tropic of Capricorn and the sun ever shines on the south side of a wall, the earth is tilted beyond the norm. Read below/ visit link etc.etc.etc.
>"Britannica:
latitudes approximately 23°27′ N and 23°27′ S of the terrestrial Equator, respectively. These latitudes correspond to the northernmost and southernmost declinations of the Sun’s ecliptic to the celestial equator. At the summer solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere), around June 21, the Sun attains its greatest declination north and is directly over the Tropic of Cancer. At that time the Sun appears in the constellation Gemini, but much earlier in history, it lay in the constellation Cancer, thereby resulting in the designation Tropic of Cancer. Similarly, at the winter solstice (Northern Hemisphere), around December 21, the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn"<

The claimed accuracy of this last guy was the only thing that would have made his observation valid. He ended up denying his own accuracy. It's nuts!
Truth is, none of these people have a clue what it takes to make an accurate observation. They try to be scientific, and fail, while they decry science as worthless. |

Last winter when we had people posting that the sun was too far south, someone predicted that as summer approached there would be people noticing the sun too far north. Gee, either that AC is a gifted psychic, or there is a clue in there about how the sun behaves in our skies over the course of a solar year. (hint) |

Science for centuries denied that rocks could fall from the sky
"meteor"
True science takes all evidence into account and tries to set up experiments to get repeatable results.
One experiment vs another means nothing. The body of knowledge is what matters.
Results that disprove a theory are just as successful as experiments that prove a theory.
Science should have no axe to grind.

WE WILL SOON KNOW IF THE SUN REALLY MOVES NORTH.
BUT ALL SIGNS SHOW EVERYTHING IS NORMAL.
you may be right. im just asking. i think the argument is the earth tilt changed, not that the sun moved.
OK... I have to ask...
why do you think the earths tilt has changed? THink it happened before or it can just suddenly happen? How do you think the planet would suddenly change it's rotation axis without a very large event or amount of energy forcing it? What do you think that large amount of energy would have done to all life on the planet? |

No, but you don't seem to understand that the Sun doesn't
ALWAYS set directly in the West, especially this time of year. Quoting: DrPostman
Most everyone knows that. People are saying it's too far north taking that into consideration. |

Let me get this straight... You claim to be an amateur astronomer, but you have no equipment and can't spell "amateur"? Quoting: Menow 449281
