Default Proving the Earth's orbital motion.

You people are afflicted with mistakes made centuries ago which assigns dynamical significance to circumpolar motion -

The only dynamical significance is the changing relationship between the stars and the Sun due to the orbital motion of the Earth and specifically the annual transition of some stars from an evening to morning appearance -

It is then and only then you discover the sequence of reasoning which equates 1461 rotations of the Earth to 4 orbital circuits (close proximity) as an expression of an ancient observation -

".. on account of the procession of the rising of Sirius by one day in the course of 4 years,.. therefore it shall be, that the year of 360 days and the 5 days added to their end, so one day shall be from this day after every 4 years added to the 5 epagomenae before the new year" Canopus Decree 238 BC

Within the close proximity is the actual resolution for the Precession of the Equinoxes as it comes from the same orbital drift responsible for the first annual appearance of Sirius after four cycles of 365 days.

Go back to discussing trivia where you belong with the shiny telescope guys..
