This is getting beyond a joke.



On the eve of a solar eclipse in conjunction with the Equinox all there exists is a bunch of sour middle class thugs with little feeling for either event.

Want to see a real joke, take your pick -

The rotation of the Earth, the orbital motion of the moon and the stationary central Sun is magnificent yet you miserable,spiritless people will try to project a celestial sphere ideology -

Enemies of all that is good about human reasoning and human achievement while lacking the fascination which comes with genuine astronomy. Never have you all looked so dreary and dumb, truly !.

Default Equinox March 2015

When the moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun in roughly a month's time (April 18th) a camera on the moon would register a surface rotation of roughly 30 degrees using the fully illuminated face and the North pole as a gauge, the next sweep will be roughly another 30 degrees so that when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun around the June Solstice, the entire planet's surface will have turned 90 degrees,again,using the poles as a gauge. This surface rotation is already seen within the solar system.
