Dear group,

Pete Lawrence and I pooled our work from yesterday surrounding the
near-occultation of Regulus by the moon to produce an interesting view
of how Regulus appeared relatively to the moon for the two of us
separated by 2370 km apart.

For an interesting comparison of this apparent view, please seehttp://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Lunar-Parallax.htm.... someone please
provide oriel with his medication before he starts mumbling het again
about astrologers, axial rotation, apparent frames of reference and
whatever else I may have missed.

Clear skies!

Anthony.

The antidote for you is Huygens -

A guy who does not know the basic correlation between the natural noon
cycle and the 24 hour day is no astronomer,the fact that you are
enamored with the 17th century analemma hoax and a non existent figure
8 assures you a position right up there with the creationists.

There is nothing remotely close to that scandal where men cannot even
acknowledge how clocks keep in sync with the axial cycle as a 24 hour/
360 degree correlation or rather attach the rotation of the Earth
directly to a celestial sphere and believe a location rotates to noon
in 24 hours in order to justify the return of a star in 23 hours 56
minutes 04 seconds -

That 'sidereal time' explanation is as though an enormous joke is
being played on humanity and there is nothing funny about it.What in
God's name are people doing ?,what insanity grips people when it has
been known from antiquity that no two cycles are the same -

" Here take notice, that the Sun or the Earth passeth the 12.
Signes, or makes an entire revolution in the Ecliptick in 365 days, 5
hours 49 min. or there about, and that those days, reckon'd from noon
to noon, are of different lenghts; as is known to all that are vers'd
in Astronomy. Now between the longest and the shortest of those days,
a day may be taken of such a length, as 365 such days, 5. hours &c.
(the same numbers as before) make up, or are equall to that
revolution: And this is call'd the Equal or Mean day, according to
which the Watches are to be set; and therefore the Hour or Minute
shew'd by the Watches, though they be perfectly Iust and equal, must
needs differ almost continually from those that are shew'd by the Sun,
or are reckon'd according to its Motion. But this Difference is
regular, and is otherwise call'd the Aequation, and here you have a
Table, that shows" Huygens

With everything laid out before all of you and you still can't admire
how the 24 hour day is created out of the natural cycle and how it is
applied to clocks and the axial cycle.
