Now I have said it. Depending on the frame of reference, you are both right. If you ignore the fixed stars and only look at the sun's frame, oriel36 is correct. If you look at the bigger frame, Morton is certainly correct. That's because it is OK to look at just one frame or the other, as long as you are aware of them both. Unfortunately, oriel36 has a real problem even acknowledging any frame other than the Earth-Sun duo, and this severely limits his enjoyment of the hobby. He really doesn't understand that celestial mechanics can be, must be, considered from many points of view in order to have a chance of understanding the Way Things Really Are.

Trying to teach Oriel36 anything is like trying to nail Jello to a tree, or herding cats, he must have a very short attention span, to say nothing of a very narrow perspective.

This is what Galileo fought against. Blind faith that does not acknowledge the value of reality, nor even the existence of it, but stays put in a circular framework of ancient texts. Even in astronomical matters the ancient texts expose your wretched condition - " Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? " http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/toc...&division=div1 The constellations move with the seasons and the return of a star in any given constellation to the same meridian takes 365 days 5 hours 49 minutes,the only acceptable reference for the stellar background being the Earth's orbital motion through space. The great author of Job can still remind people and especially Christians,just how little they actually know and the great symphony of planetary dynamics ,the Sun and multiple influences which go into making existence possible and enjoyable .Astronomy was already thousands of years old when that author mentioned with pride his knowledge of the stars and constellations in context of the seasons while everyone here betrays astronomy for a silly inversion of references which tries to obliterate the seasonal motion of the Earth through space or the antecedent geostatic view of the seasonal motion of the constellations. Just like the name oriel suggests, with the associations to fibonacci numbers and inwardly closed series. -- mrr |
