A real astronomical experience
The ever changing orbital orientation of the Earth is just about to
align with fixed axial orientation with the imaginary lines of longitudes passing almost parallel through the orientation signified by direct radiation and the Earth's orbital shadow - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...easonearth.png In an era where careless men alter astronomical things with the greatest abandon,it would take a genuine astronomer to appreciate that the Earth does not vary its tilt to the Sun,the orbital orientation,due to the Earth's orbital motion,changes against fixed axial orientation. The great sweep of the Earth on its axis through the orbital shadow and into light is shared globally by all people living along the same lines of longitude twice a year before the axial and orbital oreintations mix together in an asymmetrical way. The great bi-annual astronomical event and nobody cares about anything but meaningless definitions,pity that,the alignment is a true astronomical beauty |

Your variable ttilting Earth to the Sun looks like this - http://www.scienceu.com/observatory/...s/earthyrb.gif The grace to recognise the majestic sweep of the Earth in its orbital motion and how the changing orbital orientation is now almost aligning with and crossing the axis of the Earth and the sweep of imaginary terrestial longitudes from pole to pole with through the global line where the orbital shadow and radiation meet. You mock yourselves and this is fine,the great astronomical occurence is just one of those things for real astronomers to enjoy and it certainly does not beg your attension or your judgements.That is why it is an experience. |

Austin Look and see what happened to sci.astro.amateur in the space of a few weeks. The other side of astronomy is there for people with enough intellectual and intuitive intelligence ,it requires no money and no equipment but generates a satisfaction many magnitudes greater than imaging and magnification astronomy. You inhabit the season of astronomical winter whereas I catch glimpses of the unstopable astronomical Spring and its emergence from the horror and barreness of the empirical era.. Who will make things new ?. |
