  • crazykb wrote ''The sun doesn't move''

    Technically it does.

  • 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'.

  • 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?

  • Cool stuff.

  • good to see BA reppin at Comic Con

  • 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.
