FAQ's about the Stars

Why can't I see Polaris from the southern continents?

Polaris will get lower in the sky the further away you are. They eventually curve away from your point of view due to refraction and are blocked by air.

Do the stars go around us?

Yes. This can be proven by time lapse of star trails. Polaris the north star, is seen at an angle. This is completely impossible on a round earth unless you are near the north pole. In most places star trails do not follow the pattern of a spinning ball. Star patterns are reversed in the north and south hemisphere. This shows that they are not as far as astronomers claim since you would be looking at it from opposite angles like going north and south of a pattern on your ceiling. Star trails have been seen spinning over polaris and streaking right by the side of that which does not match the pattern of a ball.

What are the stars?

When you zoom in on stars with a telescope, you see amazing images. Some flicker, some changes colors, some look dull, some bright, some flicker, they look completely amazing and different. They look absolutely nothing like NASA images. They are the heavens and called so for a reason.

Some people send light sensitive cameras above the atmosphere and were not unable to see stars. More experiments needs to be done there. They are mysterious indeed. Planets emit light exactly like stars do which means they aren't terra firma.

How far are the stars from us?

It's true we can see the "milky way" and other beautiful things in the sky but those things are just mysterious and they all have no parallax and the pattern is always the same. They are obviously not billions of miles away.

Star patterns do change when in the north or south of them and that proves a flat earth. Look at something on your ceiling and go north of it, then walk south of it. The pattern flips when you observe it from the opposite direction. One position would appear right side up, the other upside down. This actually proves stars are closer to us! Since the stars position can be triangulated. Also, they try to say that stars spin counterclockwise over the South Pole star and clockwise when looking to the North Pole Star. This is true! In fact, it can't be any other way! And that again, works perfectly fine in a flat earth and in favor of it.

Why do stars rotate clockwise around Polaris and Counterclockwise and Clockwise around the South?

There was a lot of debate on the internet about this. It's extremely simple. So take a look at your car. When you witness a car drive forward from the outside, the driver side wheel always turns counterclockwise. The passenger side wheel always turns clockwise. The reverse is true if you are under the car. The same effect of rotations is true for a dome.

Look at the top of a lid and rotate it counter-clockwise. Now look at the rim. The rim appears to rotate clockwise! Everything goes from East to West in the sky. There also seems to be a huge debate in astrophotography that time-lapse videos of the "celestial south pole” is being faked. Some people claim they use special filters, dome cameras, wide angle, mislabeling shots of Northern Stars (or even simply CGI). Regardless, there is actually a lot of footage that conflicts with these time lapse instead showing the milky way and southern cross streaking across the sky in a slight curve and looks nothing like Polaris time lapse. The stars are said to have a 1 degree shortage in their rotation.

There was a brilliant video discussing this and the sidereal day. They showed pretty conclusively that the stars went east to west. There is other time lapse that shows stars moving streaking lines right besides spirals. In any case, it is completely possible to have this pattern (like a hurricane pattern in between the rotation with stars going above and below it). Like explained, the top of a dome will appear to rotate counterclockwise and the sides would appear to rotate clockwise. You can test this yourself by rotating a salad bowl. On the Azimuth map, Australia is on the opposite side to Africa and South America. So it is possible that there is a large spiral traced clockwise by the stars on each end.

However like previously stated many of these videos are in dispute. The distance of the stars would determine whether or not it would be easy to detect variations in the southern angle, after all, in the Azimuth map longitude lines are much large the further south you go. This plays a huge role in perspective of the stars. There are videos of crepuscular rays and anti-crepuscular rays which shows how the suns light angled up can rise in the horizon and the same theory has been applied to stars going across a dome pattern. When curving around a dome this can effect the way you see the stars. Also there have been other solutions and experiments proposed with rotating discs of projected light off a parabolic mirror however there are already many simple explanations.
