An enlightened astronomer, who wishes to remain
anonymous, once noted:
"Since I have looked through a telescope
for about 40 years (on and off), I think I have a good idea of what
50 arc sec means in spatial distance. When you look at the moon
(1/2 degree of arc in full phase and actually MOVING in front of
your eyes at high power due to earth's rotation), and when you look
at double stars at 1-2 arc sec resolution at about 400 power, and
planetary nebula that often measure 50 arc seconds across, you understand
how little 50 arc sec is. Now, how [...] can the earth require an
additional 20 min. of rotation at the end of one year to "line things
up?" The proportion is way off. The 20 min. has to be a myth! But
about three seconds seems right to me. Without your work I would
never have realized this."
The Significance of the 16 to 17 Degree Angle of Declination and Sirius
A Reader provided us with some information and insight about Celtic Festivals, which might be of value to anyone who wishes to further investigate a very ancient and perhaps much deeper connection with Sirius.
Planetary Precession
Reader wonders if precession theories work for the other planets in our solar system. In the spirit of resolving the precession enigma, Mars could prove to be another “target of opportunity”
Earth Orbital Period
Reader has independently come to many of the same conclusions
regarding Earth's orbital period and agrees that the current precession theory has to be a myth.
