Here is circumpolar motion taken from England -

Ignorance and madness indeed !, if you can get the Sun to follow that


path as the Sun emerges from the horizon then none of you have ever


adored a sunrise or a sunset as the Sun moves directly West by virtue of


a round and rotating Earth -




Think about this very carefully. This view is to the Northeast, The sun is

below the horizon. As Tacitus pointed out almost 2,000 years ago in the

north of Britain the glow of the sun can be seen all night during the

summer passing below the horizon. When below the horizon the Sun follows

exactly the same arc as the stars behind the body of the Angel Of ther

North.

Here's another set of star trails but facing South. You will see that they

follow the same type of arc as the sun but facing south it's easier to

think of these arcs as centred on the South Pole.

This photo is magnified and occupies only about 12 degrees.



The difference between a genuine astronomer and a celestial sphere


cultist like yourself is that the astronomer refers the apparent motion


of the Sun to the actual motions and shape of the Earth while a cultist


will try to reference the motion of the Sun to a rotating celestial


sphere with its opposing arcs for each hemisphere -




http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140620.html




All it shows Collins is that you and your kind lack that love which makes


knowledge meaningful insofar as sunrise, sunset and the trajectory of the


Sun's arc resonates in a special way with humans in that it draws


attention to the central star that makes life possible and the motions of


the Earth which bring the Sun into view and make it disappear beyond the horizon.




You can't show me a circumpolar arc at all latitudes as the Sun makes its


way from horizon to horizon but again,all that shows are tired middle


class phonies calling themselves 'astronomers' by virtue of magnification equipment.




I have just shown you these arcs.


You have shown me an arc within the Arctic circle created by the daily
and annual surface rotations of the Earth with the major surface rotation
as a function of the Earth's orbital motion causing the Sun to move from
horizon to horizon over a space of 6 months. I don't care if you don't
have the talent to appreciate that any apparent motion of the Sun must be
due to the surface rotation of the planet with the planet's surface
rotation as a function of its orbital motion as a cause for 6 months of
daylight following 6 months of darkness at the North/South poles.

You can't show me the Sun's arc at mid latitudes in circumpolar motion
because the Sun's motion is due West from horizon to horizon and what a
beautiful arc it is as it is seen in either hemisphere looking towards
the Equator where all motions to the Sun are referenced to -

http://scienceblogs.com/startswithab...ice_pivato.jpg


It is not just that a cultist can't reference the daily arcs of the Sun
and the seasonal variations in those arcs to the motions and shape of the
Earth ,they can't even accept the apparent motion of the Sun and its arc
from horizon to horizon.

Those who lack heart will always find things of beauty and simplicity
painful to look at and most certainly here in this topic more than
anywhere else. You could all enjoy your circumpolar motion as I do but
the difference in the arcs it traces from horizon to horizon and that of our central Sun.

There is nowhere to go for your cult once it sees an apparent arc of the
Sun across all latitudes that is not there hence inspirational and intellectual nadir.


Here you are, The Sun's arc at mid - latitudes. Bangor in North Wales.

You people are dangerous cultists or have you forgotten that in the Southern hemisphere it is noon at the same time as latitudes in the Northern hemisphere hence the arcs are always towards the Equator and never in circumpolar motion.

http://scienceblogs.com/startswithab...ice_pivato.jpg

It is noon in Cape Town South Africa at the same time it is noon in central Europe and both observers will see the same arc of the Sun looking towards the Equator even though the arcs vary because of seasonal variations between Southern and Northern hemispheres.

Your particular holocaust is a particularly dangerous one as it defies what is observed thereby freezing the mind in a hopeless state where no inspiration or love ever goes. The saying 'raising the spirits' comes to those who love sunrise and sunset as it actually happens as the Sun moves West in its graceful arc.

No, we didn't forget that. So you're quite correct that an observer would have
to be in the Southern Hemisphere, where you can't see Polaris, to see the Sun's
arc "bent the right way" to circle Polaris, whereas in the Northern Hemisphere,
it's bent away from Polaris.

Since it's still due to the Earth's rotation, though, we viewed that as...
irrelevant. Maybe it's silly of us, but I have my doubts.

O, I would definitely take a bet. I would bet that he will continue to
sucker people into replying, i.e., that some people will continue to
kick that dead horse.

The only reason I care is that my kill-file is defeated every time I
unsuspectingly open a post from someone other than one of the trolls
that I have kill-filed and find their post quoted in its entirety at
the top. No harm done, just one more minor annoyance on the Internet.

So what you are saying is that they will see the same arc except that it

won't be the same.


On Dec 21st it will be noon along the same longitude across both hemispheres so that in Cape Town they will see the familiar arc of the Sun from horizon to horizon looking towards the Equator while at the same time somebody in Poland will see the smallest arc of the Sun for that same day . Similar daily arcs as a mirror image but seasonal variations in arc as the Solstice image of the arc demonstrates -

http://scienceblogs.com/startswithab...ice_pivato.jpg




Also it will be clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in

the southern .



Davoud was trying to tell you to stop digging as it is making you cultists even worse than you already are but he needn't have bothered,disputing the apparent daily arc of the Sun or trying to put the Sun in circumpolar motion is already inspirational and intellectual rock bottom. I had to look into a cult mentality so don't mind jumping through hoops in the hope that some flicker of recognition may enter an observer's soul so they could see how their minds are frozen solid with contrived nonsense passed on from one generation to the next.

The Earth rotates from West to East across its entire surface making the Sun appear to move from East to West with the daily arcs as it moves from the horizon a feature of its roundness,something easily recognizable with the lengths of a shadow through the day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B7KLstUZbI

Again there will be a mirror image between hemispheres as the Sun arcs higher and shortens the shadow so the focus is on the motions of the Earth and the central Sun rather than the need to drag in a circumpolar framework.

If need be then enjoy circumpolar motion but as a separate arc to the Sun's motion but ultimately it is always sunrise and sunset that always raises the spirits.

.... and someone on that same day at the south pole would see the biggest arc possible, as the Sun circles the entire sky and never crosses the horizon at all... and where do you suppose the center of that 360-degree arc lies.... hmmmm, any guess?

OK, you're actually telling me it is intellectual rock bottom to fail to
distinguish between the stars whose declination is north of my latitude, which
are in apparent circumpolar motion, and the stars whose declination is south of
my latitude, and thus have an apparent motion in the opposite direction, like
the Sun and the planets that are also found in that part of the sky.

Seriously?
