Re: On February 23rd, the moon will reverse course while in front of the sun
The solar dynamics observatory experiences eclipses of the sun caused by the moon that are not visible from Earth. Because of its orbital motion, some of these events also exhibit behavior that you would never see from the ground. I developed a bot to predict all future SDO eclipses by monitoring the orbital elements of the spacecraft and looking a few months out for any transits of objects in front of the sun. My bot predicts that on February 23rd the sun watching spacecraft will see the moon turn and reverse course during a partial eclipse. Though this is not something you would ever see in a regular eclipse on Earth, it's completely normal and predictable based on the orbital elements of the spacecraft and the moon.


Years ago I was accused of leaving a trap for GLP'ers by predicting the first of these types of eclipses without making a big deal out of it, leading to a lot of people embarrassing themselves when they freaked out about it. Well now you can't say I didn't warn you, so when this happens next month don't blame me for your own mistakes.

Also coming up in a few days, SDO will enter its next eclipse season where the Earth will block the sun for a period of time each day for several weeks. The full eclipse season is now predicted and shown on my Annotated SDO channel on YouTube.

There is SOOO much information to unpack in the facts behind this statement.
Example - the direct comparison to occurrences of similar, albeit intentional, sway held by court priests and astrologers over the populous centuries ago.
Amazing to see that, apparently, such power could still be wielded even in our current era of near-instantaneous global information access. Information such as one might access to quell any concerns over hitherto unknown lunar motion.
Does this speak to the mind of the individual or group? Something for me to mull...

Re: On February 23rd, the moon will reverse course while in front of the sun
I had no idea that our moon could do that retrograde thing! blink

I have never heard of it doing that until this thread. Thanks, Astro!
 Quoting: Éireann


Yup, it's due to the orbital motion of SDO. You would never see it look like this from Earth's surface.
 Quoting: Astroshill

Your post makes a wrong impression to the astro illiterates who may not know what SDO is. Of course SDO or any other Space Observatories could experience moon's retrograde due to their orbital speed. But as long as moon rotates around the earth, no way observers on the surface of the earth will see any retrograde, unless the moon really move back suddenly.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78450292


I make it perfectly clear what SDO is. You're done on my threads.

Astro, here's a question for you:

It appears even my P-900 can bag better shots of the moon than Hubble can. Looking through the images the Hubble has taken, they're all crap.

Is that a matter of it simply was not made to do that job? Would an 8" ground based telescope actually blow the Hubble away when it comes to the moon?

Re: On February 23rd, the moon will reverse course while in front of the sun
The title is sensational doom-sounding but misleading. The moon will only reverse course if observed from an SDO that's also rotating around the earth. And that's natural phenomenon of 3D geometry, not world shattering news.

This is not strange phenomenon to those who have brain. If we could see other planets retrograding because of earth and all those planets rotate around the sun, the same will happen to all satellites and space observatories rotating around the earth to see the moon which is also rotating around the earth retrograding. It's just math.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78450292


Oh don't worry, I will never warn you people again. I'll let you idiots duke it out next time as some retard comes through here claiming that it was unusual because I wasn't around to predict it beforehand. It's happened before and now it will happen again. I'm just going to sit back and laugh.

If it's BS then it's going to be awfully embarrassing for me on February 23rd when nothing happens and my bot annotates the images of the sun from SDO that day with this eclipse shown but it didn't actually happen. You see, I programmed my bot to also annotate the daily images from the spacecraft based on its predictions of any transits that should have happened over the sun. It successfully did this before with an eclipse like this.


 Quoting: Astroshill


Honest question for Astro: do you believe the sun rotates upon its own axis?

Just wondering after watching your video with the flares appearing to "progress" across the face of the sun as if it is rotating. Wouldn't that effect be caused by the motion of the SDO as it passes the sun?

Interesting.

Of course, NASA is fully aware that the Earth sits motionless, neither rotating or revolving, the center of mass of an oscillating, gyroscoping Starfield-Ether Composite. The Materialist, Gnostic Establishment is also fully aware of this inconvenient fact, which was demonstrated for all the world to see during the Michelson-Morley experiment. Some of the greatest scientists have been aware of this fact: Einstein, Hubble, Mach, etc. but their dedication to Materialism and the Myth of Copernicanism Myth of the Pythagoreans trumped true Science and Progress.

Yes the sun rotates on its own axis. This is easily confirmed by watching sunspot complexes which can frequently be seen on successive rotations of the sun. SDO is orbiting earth, it takes one year to complete an orbit around the sun but only a few weeks for sunspots to rotate around the sun.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45537964

0%. Not going to happen. The moon is very gradually accelerating away from Earth under tidal acceleration. Any event energetic enough to knock the moon into Earth within a minute (about 2% of light speed) would not leave the moon intact, to say the least, and the nature of such an event would probably vaporize a good portion of the moon. The total binding energy of the moon is about 1.2*10^29 joules. The kinetic energy needed to accelerate the moon to 2% the speed of light would be about 1.47 * 10^36 joules. So in other words, more than 10 million times the energy needed to completely destroy the moon like it got hit by a blast from a death star in star wars. In fact whatever hit or caused that to happen would probably come straight through the moon and destroy Earth before the moon even reached Earth.

Seriously, stop worrying about it. It's not going to happen. I gave you all the numbers to show you how absurd it would be. The energy required is over a hundred million times more than what it would take to separate every bit of the moon from every other bit, it's not even questionable. Your dream is just that, a dream, that's all.

ok :) but if it happens you're buying everybody a round of beer

Re: On February 23rd, the moon will reverse course while in front of the sun
The solar dynamics observatory experiences eclipses of the sun caused by the moon that are not visible from Earth. Because of its orbital motion, some of these events also exhibit behavior that you would never see from the ground. I developed a bot to predict all future SDO eclipses by monitoring the orbital elements of the spacecraft and looking a few months out for any transits of objects in front of the sun. My bot predicts that on February 23rd the sun watching spacecraft will see the moon turn and reverse course during a partial eclipse. Though this is not something you would ever see in a regular eclipse on Earth, it's completely normal and predictable based on the orbital elements of the spacecraft and the moon.


Years ago I was accused of leaving a trap for GLP'ers by predicting the first of these types of eclipses without making a big deal out of it, leading to a lot of people embarrassing themselves when they freaked out about it. Well now you can't say I didn't warn you, so when this happens next month don't blame me for your own mistakes.

Also coming up in a few days, SDO will enter its next eclipse season where the Earth will block the sun for a period of time each day for several weeks. The full eclipse season is now predicted and shown on my Annotated SDO channel on YouTube.

Hi astro a few years ago I had a dream of the moon gradually appearing larger and larger over the course of 60 seconds during daytime until it looked like a pool ball on course with earth. When it entered atmosphere the atmosphere tore open like a woman giving birth the best way I can describe it. With fire and blood and light pouring in with the moons entrance as the atmosphere was shredded apart to accompany the moons entrance. What are the odds of this happening and what would cause it?

I had a dream that the moon was actually made of cheese and a giant space mouse came and started eating it, and the giant space mouse turds got sucked toward the earth and into the atmosphere. What are the odds of this happening, Astro?

Re: On February 23rd, the moon will reverse course while in front of the sun
If it's BS then it's going to be awfully embarrassing for me on February 23rd when nothing happens and my bot annotates the images of the sun from SDO that day with this eclipse shown but it didn't actually happen. You see, I programmed my bot to also annotate the daily images from the spacecraft based on its predictions of any transits that should have happened over the sun. It successfully did this before with an eclipse like this.


 Quoting: Astroshill


Honest question for Astro: do you believe the sun rotates upon its own axis?

Just wondering after watching your video with the flares appearing to "progress" across the face of the sun as if it is rotating. Wouldn't that effect be caused by the motion of the SDO as it passes the sun?
 Quoting: Deplorable Doomfan45


Yes the sun rotates on its own axis. This is easily confirmed by watching sunspot complexes which can frequently be seen on successive rotations of the sun. SDO is orbiting earth, it takes one year to complete an orbit around the sun but only a few weeks for sunspots to rotate around the sun.
 Quoting: Astroshill


I see. So the sun's axial rotation is not like earth's? It's just very, very slow??

Re: On February 23rd, the moon will reverse course while in front of the sun
The title is sensational doom-sounding but misleading. The moon will only reverse course if observed from an SDO that's also rotating around the earth. And that's natural phenomenon of 3D geometry, not world shattering news.

This is not strange phenomenon to those who have brain. If we could see other planets retrograding because of earth and all those planets rotate around the sun, the same will happen to all satellites and space observatories rotating around the earth to see the moon which is also rotating around the earth retrograding. It's just math.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78450292


Oh don't worry, I will never warn you people again. I'll let you idiots duke it out next time as some retard comes through here claiming that it was unusual because I wasn't around to predict it beforehand. It's happened before and now it will happen again. I'm just going to sit back and laugh.

is that a promise ? because your arrogance won't be missed
