The June orbital solstice
It is approaching orbital noon at the North pole and orbital midnight
at the South pole as those locations swing around to a position facing towards and opposite the Sun,the turning action arising solely from the orbital behavior of the Earth.The travelling axis,stretching through the center of the Earth from Arctic to Antarctic circles and about which the null daily rotational points (North/South poles) turn create the effect of a single orbital daylight/darkness cycle,a cycle apart from daily rotation as regards duration and characteristics. The Earth does not 'tilt' towards and away from the Sun in creating this orbital day/night effect,it is a great cycle on its own and it is about time ,in an era when we can see the Earth from space,to put forward a proper explanation for both variations in the natural noon cycle and seasonal changes using the additional orbital characteristic. The other option is to pretend the orbital daylight/darkness cycle does not exist so you can retain the mindnumbing addiction to right ascension and I would like to think people know by now the limitations of that view which become downright offensive when taken as a basis of planetary dynamics instead of the calendar convenience that it actually is. |

So, how can the Earth 'swing around' to varying positions throughout the year while at the same time having its north pole remain steadfastly pointed almost directly at Polaris? Hmmmm? There doesn't appear to actually be any turning action at all, now does there? Could it possibly be because of varying frames of reference? When oh when will you ever figure it out? It is just not all that difficult to conceptualize... little kids can do it. |

Instead of 366 1/4 rotational ones, with one of them meeting the orbital daylight/darkness cycle and being cancelled out. John Savard |

The June orbital solstice
The great orbital cycle of our planet displays its characteristic in
isolation at the polar coordinates where there is a single daylight/ darkness cycle which has nothing to do with daily rotation,it does not beg acceptance by a single individual here or anywhere else,merely that it is there for those who can appreciate it at a level which is dignified and noble.The intellectually impotent can do and say as they wish,it is not meant for them but for astronomers who can discover something new as the Solstice approaches. Nobody disgraces themselves here,the principle is founded on the observation that the Earth has two separate daylight/darkness cycles with two separate causes and these causes combined explain the seasons and why natural noon cycles vary.It is the one thing I have expressed shock at insofar as the isolation of the orbital characteristic is already observed through the unique physical traits of Uranus yet how many years is it now that it remains out of view of the wider population. |

The June orbital solstice
Astronomers by nature ,as I have known only from history and their
texts,have a very global outlook on things and at this June Solstice it is proper to express an astronomical view rather than those who still are bound at a level which is deficient but acceptable ,keeping in the mind the comments of Galileo - "Copernicus himself knew the power over our ideas that is exerted by custom and by our inveterate way of conceiving things since infancy. Hence, in order not to increase for us the confusion and difficulty of abstraction, after he had first demonstrated that the motions which appear to us to belong to the sun or to the firmament are really not there but in the earth, he went on calling them motions of the sun and of the heavens when he later constructed his tables to apply them to use. He thus speaks of “sunrise” and “sunset,” of the “rising and setting” of the stars, of changes in the obliquity of the ecliptic and of variations in the equinoctial points, of the mean motion and variations in motion of the sun, and so on. All these things really relate to the earth, but since we are fixed to the earth and consequently share in its every motion, we cannot discover them in the earth directly, and are obliged to refer them to the heavenly bodies in which they make their appearance to us. Hence we name them as if they took place where they appear to us to take place; and from this one may see how natural it is to accommodate things to our customary way of seeing them." Galileo In this dismal era dominated by empiricism there not the slightest apology for promoting entirely homocentric views and the following article today is one among many insofar as we inhabit an era of deep regression where they don't even mention planetary dynamics in respect to the June Solstice event and treat in hemsipherical terms of the 'summer' Solstice. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...PeH_blog..html As nobody has clearly defined the June astronomical event,I will. The June and December Solstices represent a specific orbital point where the polar coordinates are the greatest distance from the circle of illumination,the cycle where the polar coordinates turn through 360 degrees and coincident with an orbital period of the planet is indicative of a single global daylight/darkness cycle that is obscured by the most part by the separate motion of daily rotation and its daylight/darkness cycle. So,coming up to 2012,it would be proper to have a succinct description of the Solstice event expressed clearly in terms of the orbital cycle of the Earth,it is also the astronomical thing to do. |
