Quite a good graphic about the earth, sun and moon. Can't find the
homepage though. http://physics.unl.edu/~klee/applets/sme398/sme.html |

Part of that applet is pure junk however it is possible to make an attempt to construct a proper view of the Earth's motions in relation to the Sun. Should anyone doubt the behavior of a planet as it orbits the central star,need only look at the animation and the behavior of Uranus - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV9WkQkUHZ4 http://physics.uoregon.edu/~jimbrau/...13/FG13_06.jpg Oh,the joys of modern imaging and powerful time lapse footage which changes things by asking a simple question - does a location orbitally keep the same face to the Sun or change it through 360 degrees over an annual orbit ?. Can't say I admire the U.K. resolve to ignore what observations dictate,too much importance for climatological concerns to care about dreary minds who believe in variable axial inclination when actual observations show otherwise.As for your applets,well it is typical for astrologers but can be molded into a good heliocentric terms if heliocentric astronomers,apart from myself,ever show up here. |
