  More orbital details regarding the Equinox         


Author: oriel36
Date: Sep 20, 2008 07:02

The difference between the present Equinox and the one which will
occur half an annual orbit from now is that the orbital turning of a
location is speeding up in accordance with Kepler's view of orbital
speed and geometry whereas at the opposite Equinox the Earth's orbital
turning to the central Sun will be slowing down as the Earth moves
towards aphelion.This variable speed will show up also as variations
in the natural noon cycle.

The YouTube time lapse footage showing the orbital change is
slightly problematic for interpreters for although it is taken from a
rotational stationary point of view,there is no means to allow a
stationary orbital view however the distance from Uranus from the Sun
along with its unique dual features of rotational orientation and
Equatorial rings fill in the gap to a more productive view of the
seasonal explanation by relying on the relationship between daily
rotational and annual orbital motions to each other and to the central
Sun.

  Foolish reporters will tell you this was not a Martian animal and these were not numerous Martian cells, etc.         


Author: Lin Liangtai

Foolish reporters will tell you this (Fig. 1) was not a Martian animal
and these (Fig. 2) were not numerous Martian cells, because NASA is
not scheduled to verify such things until the next Mars mission.

Martian animal is in Fig. 1.
Numerous Martian cell remains are in Fig. 2.
Silts are in Fig. 3.
Foolish reporters cannot tell silts from cells, as both have a size of
2 micrometers to 60 micrometers. The difference between the two in two-
dimensional photos is that silts have sharp angles while cells don't
(See Ref. 1).

  Martian Alice has three articulated vertebrates.

Martian Alice has three articulated vertebrates.

Fig. 1 below shows three articulated vertebrates below the skull and a
vessel protruding from the eye socket of Alice on Mars.

  Equinox comparison         


Author: oriel36
Date: Sep 20, 2008 00:48

Like many people,the Wikipedia site is an invaluable place to find
articles about anything and I am sure many students look to it when
researching material.So,here is how the site shows the Earth at the
Equinox -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Earth-lighting-equinox_EN.png

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox

Actual imaging of the Earth from space shows a different perspective -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwTrYVBcx9s

What is the point of astronomy if it cannot adjust and adapt to what
modern imaging dictates.The time lapse footage above represents a
view where daily rotation and subsequently 'tilt' is absent and yet we
see a limited view of the seasonal mechanism (limited because we are
orbitally travelling with the Earth).

I have well understood that variable axial/equatorial inclination was
the explanation of the great Copernicus and the Wiki article reflects
that position of variable 'tilt' however I implore responsible people
to take another look at the seasonal explanation and give it the
respect it deserves using modern imaging techniques.

  Solar Wind at 50 year low

How do they know this? 50 years ago there was no solar wind observing via
satellites unless it was inferred from sunspot and microwave flux observing.
