Technically it does.

Phil you're not the boss of me!..you and those noisy negativists are in cahoots with "the man"..

The traverse of the Sun and Moon through the sky is not normal. Can anyone plot it's position hour by hour for as long as possible?

Both are often in the wrong place in the sky. Why?

[crazykb]

I don't understand what you mean by the 'Sun' traversing the sky? The sun doesn't move, its the rotation of the Earth (on its axis) that makes the sun 'rise and set'.

Loved seeing you at RTMC last Memorial Day Phil - Keep it up you do great work! Glad to see Discovery has picked you up and keeps the food on the table, we need you out there debunking the nutjobs!

Phil Plait, you're one bad mo-fo. Big fan, keep it up.

Excellent sound reproduction.

Interesting that Comiccon still keeps in touch with its roots and Mahalo is on top of that.

Kudos all around.

Yay Bad Astronomy.
