March 12, 20232 yr Place: Bonneville salt flats Tools: an L-square a large mallet four metal stakes four really long identical strings (longer the better, 100 m + would be great) a litre of bleach Procedure: 1. hammer a stake firmly into the ground 2. tie one end of one string to the stake, making a precise measurement of how much string is used for tying (the knot and any protruding slack) 3. walk in a random direction until the full length of the string is extended 4. hammer in a new stake and tie the string tautly, using the same length of excess string as the first knot 5. use the l-square to orient 90 degrees to the first string - making a right turn (doesn't have to be right but needs to be consistent) 6. repeat steps 2-4, walking exactly along the right angle, and using the same knot length so that the straight sections of string are of identical length 7. repeat steps 5-6 8. repeat steps 5-6 again Did the final string lead you directly to the first stake? Why or why not?

Pictures of The Sun, Same Place and Same Time is how the analemma is created and the analemma matches the FE model perfectly. It's the Sun that's moving, not the Earth.

It's the Sun that's moving, not the Earth. What model is that? FE keeps pretending to have one, then it is disproven, so they punt and try again with new bad assumptions.

Funny how I literally plotted the sinusoidal behavior of @paco's sunrise images, and Baron von Tardstein still managed to call it "Pictures of The Sun, Same Place and Same Time" (why the capital letters is another question altogether). Someone should study this tosser in a lab to see what happened

March 14, 20232 yr Owing to the tilt of Earth's axis (23.439°) and the Earth's orbital eccentricity, the relative location of the Sun above the horizon is not constant from day to day when observed at the same clock time each day. If the time of observation is not 12:00 noon local mean time, then depending on one's geographical latitude, this loop will be inclined at different angles. The figure on the right is an example of an analemma as seen from the Earth's northern hemisphere. It is a plot of the position of the Sun at 12:00 noon at Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England (latitude 51.48°N, longitude 0.0015°W) during the year 2006. The horizontal axis is the azimuth angle in degrees (180° is facing south). The vertical axis is the altitude in degrees above the horizon. The first day of each month is shown in black, and the solstices and equinoxes are shown in green. It can be seen that the equinoxes occur approximately at altitude φ = 90° − 51.5° = 38.5°, and the solstices occur approximately at altitudes φ ± ε where ε is the axial tilt of the Earth, 23.4°. The analemma is plotted with its width highly exaggerated, revealing a slight asymmetry (due to the two-week misalignment between the apsides of the Earth's orbit and its solstices). The analemma is oriented with the smaller loop appearing north of the larger loop. At the North Pole, the analemma would be completely upright (an 8 with the small loop at the top), and only the top half of it would be visible. Heading south, once south of the Arctic Circle, the entire analemma would become visible. If seen at noon, it continues to be upright, and rises higher from the horizon as the viewer moves south. At the equator it is directly overhead. Further south it moves toward the northern horizon, and is then seen with the larger loop at the top. If viewed at the analemma in the early morning or evening, it would start to tilt to one side as the viewer moves southward from the North Pole. At the equator the analemma would be completely horizontal. As the viewer continued south it would rotate so that the small loop was beneath the large loop in the sky. Crossing the Antarctic Circle the analemma, now nearly completely inverted, would start to disappear, until only 50%, part of the larger loop, was visible from the South Pole.[4] See equation of time for a more detailed description of the east–west characteristics of the analemma. Flat Earth is an archaic and scientifically disproven conception of the Earth's shape as a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat-Earth cosmography. The idea of a spherical Earth appeared in ancient Greek philosophy with Pythagoras (6th century BC). However, most pre-Socratics (6th–5th century BC) retained the flat-Earth model. In the early 4th century BC, Plato wrote about a spherical Earth. By about 330 BC, his former student Aristotle had provided strong empirical evidence for a spherical Earth. Knowledge of the Earth's global shape gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world.[1][2][3][4] By the early period of the Christian Church, the spherical view was widely held, with some notable exceptions. It is a historical myth that medieval Europeans generally thought the Earth was flat.[5] This myth was created in the 17th century by Protestants to argue against Catholic teachings.[6] Despite the scientific fact and obvious effects of Earth's sphericity, pseudoscientific[7] flat-Earth conspiracy theories are espoused by modern flat Earth societies and, increasingly, by unaffiliated individuals using social media.[8][9]
