Are you saying that it can't possibly stay in position because the earth changes tilt?
over thousands of years its exactly where all of our ancestors expected it to be every day and night. special instruments and calculations are the only thing supporting that it is moving at all. it certainly is not moving as it would have to to be 433 light years away and remain due north for all known history
All known history is a very, _very_ short time celestially

its not only the tilt, its the orbit and all movement. the other stars don't remain in one single place so they are much easier explained in alternative ways - but Polaris remains
6 months time is a WILD amount of distance and time in orbit and tilt
I'm sorry I might just be stupid but I'm not understanding what you're saying? The fact that Polaris is so many light years away is exactly why the relatively minor variations in position due to our orbit does not matter. And the shifting of our axial tilt is over a span of much further than our recorded history
okay here is another one
Is your name anthony
lets say the time is 12:00 noon. Lets factor away daylight savings time or leap year etc
oh lol
every day has 24 hours in it, right?
Oh y’all are lame lame
Jk lol
@republicus solar days are a bit longer than 24 iirc but for timekeeping yes
What time of day is it from 12:00 noon in 182 days?
Idk, felt like it.
Damn
@republicus you mean if we move 4368 hours ahead?
Astra is cold af.
Harsh af, too
Jesus,
@Muncher when I eventually kill myself I'll use a nicer method than bleach
Lmfao
182 full days. or 182 full rotations (right?)
That has to be the best response to a “kys” comment I’ve ever seen.
Hello Folly!
Yeah, remember I shoved grandmas cookies down your throat.
@republicus not in terms of time keeping. When we keep time we use exactly 24 hours in a day, but a full rotation is not exactly 24 hours
I’m pretty sure you said you shoved something else down my throat.
Someone mentioned cookies afterwards and you were like, “Yeah, cookies, haha.”
