Didn't Greg Neill write on my screen:
You only have to stand outside on a clear night under non light-polluted skies to know that the average light flux differs from place to place in the sky. The Milky Way has a much higher average illumination per square degree than, say, directions galactic-poleward. Ahhaa, but the sphere is a conceptual one, and based on _total_ flux of the night sky. Its radius is only 0.18 - light year compared to a 30,000 light year distance to the centre of our galaxy. So whether you are 0.18 light-year out from the sun in a direction _opposite_ to the galactic core or _toward_ the galactic core, the point of flux equivalence will be the same. Check his vanity art-- http://uk.geocities.com/aa_spaceagen...erstellar.html My other Q, is does the sun radiate _equally_ equatorially as polar? That could change the dimensions of the Ahad sphere.
