Until you provide a satisfactory explanation of why the stars appear to

Hell is created in people's heads but vanishes when they use their hearts
and that happens each day when some people take the time out to watch the
Sun come into view or disappears from view as the planet turns daily.

The slow event of polar twilight and dawn is a product of another surface
rotation as those locations turn parallel to the orbital plane and to the
central Sun. It is meant to elevate the observer's appreciation of the
Earth's motion through space and around the Sun and this takes priority.

Celestial sphere or circumpolar motion and making judgments of the
structure of the solar system is like making judgments of normal motions
from a fairground carousel .This is why all the normal effects which
refer terrestrial sciences and the daily and annual cycles to the motions
of the Earth are lost. I have no doubt that this will provide another
distraction which celestial sphere enthusiasts are looking for in order
to avoid looking at the polar dawn and twilight occurring right now.




Yes hell is created inside people's heads. Your personal hell exists
because you are too proud to admit that you are wrong and are therefore
forced to deny more and more evidence and logic. So you are compelled to
play the clown just because of your pride.

I don't find clowns funny. I don't like laughing at the disadvantaged.
