Now, can you provide us with video showing you running your telescope and getting expected results? Quoting: ArchimedesGirl You wouldn't believe me. Best go join an actual star party yourself, and witness the telescopes tracking effortlessly. I can run Stellarium and see the sun set out my window and see the 15 minute discrepancy. Quoting: ArchimedesGirl Again, were that true, no GOTO, anywhere in the world, could track the heavens. They do track. QED. Multiple witnesses have asserted the fact that the sun is not setting when the equipment says it should. Quoting: ArchimedesGirl Then they must *explain* why, using precision equipment, the traditional math and answers work. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75870613 Uh, I wrote it originally, and have "done the work myself." Which requires, you know, thinking. And joining a star party to see for one's self. get out there and do with work.. and to get tilt changes from day to day you have to be in exactly the same spot... you cannot move around.. move 10 feet and the sun will appear in a different spot from your perspective . So do the stars.. have any of you noticed when you walk at night that the stars appear to move with you? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75870613 find the moon with some marker like a the edge of a tree and walk 10 feet and it will not appear in the same place. Then how, precisely, does celestial navigation work in your universe? And please explain how GOTOs still work, if what you are claiming is true? There's a good fellow. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75936122 United States12/03/2017 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I heard the comment "isn't the sun setting earlier than it did last year?" Quoting: ArchimedesGirl So, I looked up on G-gle when it is supposed to set where I am: 5:02. Then I went out and watched it set. I am up high - a mountain top, so if anything, it should be a few minutes later - right? It set at 4:49. If you are west of the Rockies - go out and watch it set - compare what you see with the official sunset data. Simpy type "Sunset, December 2, 2017 in Phoenix, AZ" - or wherever you are, and compare.  In the UK the sunset is on time. No difference, not early and not late. and you check that how often personally by standing out there and LOOKING?????????????? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 70434452 United States12/03/2017 01:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sunrise and sunset. For computational purposes, sunrise or sunset is defined to occur when the geometric zenith distance of center of the Sun is 90.8333 degrees. That is, the center of the Sun is geometrically 50 arcminutes below a horizontal plane. For an observer at sea level with a level, unobstructed horizon, under average atmospheric conditions, the upper limb of the Sun will then appear to be tangent to the horizon. The 50-arcminute geometric depression of the Sun's center used for the computations is obtained by adding the average apparent radius of the Sun (16 arcminutes) to the average amount of atmospheric refraction at the horizon (34 arcminutes). When you doofuses who believe sunrise/sunset varies from printed tables: Use this information to make the calculations from your locations. Then get back with us if you still have significant variations. Thank you... |

It is however nothing to worry about in one sense.. you can't prepare anyway. Yes you can..you can get away from coastal regions and or even move toward more elevation etc to avoid tidal wave when the shift happens. That is environmental prep...then of course comes stocking food...water...first aid etc. |
| 74444 User ID: 74444 United States12/04/2017 12:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Again, I have observation evidence that contradicts this claim -- evidence anyone can duplicate for themselves, with precision equipment designed to measure exactly this. Every year, as we get from solstice to solstice, these claims pop up. Yet, year after year, the Sun, Moon, stars, continue to move with breathtaking precision. If you really think that the Sun is moving in any unpredictable way, I urge you to join a local star party, and go measure for yourself. |

So can anyone else reading this. So please . . . people, look at the sunset and sunrise and note the times - share them here, so we can all benefit from mass anecdotal evidence.

Quoting: ArchimedesGirl Sure you can see the Sun. But you aren't *measuring* it. If the Sun were an *amazing* 12 or 13 minutes off, every telescope would be 12 or 13 arc-minutes off in targeting anything in the heavens. That's a ridiculously huge margin. And no telescope, anywhere, has a mechanism that could adapt to such a change. Since that demonstrably hasn't happened (telescopes continue to track the heavens just fine, thank you), I am thinking that you are somehow mistaken in your eyeballing it. Since we see no other consequences arising from such a massive change, it is tantamount to proof that no such change has occurred. As an aside, please note the zillions of posts here on GLP, going back *years* and always near a solstice, about the Sun supposedly being out of place. Yet Stonehenge still lines up. Yet, you can still get an accurate latitude from sextants. Yet Eclipses and transits occur as predicted decades and centuries ago. And yet, GOTO telescopes can accurately track the heavens. QED. |
