That sun’s movement kinda makes you think

2019-02-24 06:21:11 UTC  

How the sun looks like it’s getting small?

2019-02-24 06:21:39 UTC  

I sort of just picture the clouds being thick as the sun sets.

2019-02-24 06:22:37 UTC  

Also, it’s pretty fair to see that and disagree with what I said. Not trying to convince you, just trying to show that the other view isn’t completely stupid.

2019-02-24 06:23:27 UTC  

But the sun “setting” would mean here that it’s moving as we are accustomed to see in this model: https https://goo.gl/images/Vs683z

2019-02-24 06:23:36 UTC  

And yeah don’t worry, I understand you

2019-02-24 06:24:28 UTC  

Right, right, and it works fine for that model (sort of)

2019-02-24 06:25:09 UTC  

Actually more of a question to you, how do you explain the sun seemingly staying in the same position while also looking like it’s shrinking into the distance?

2019-02-24 06:25:53 UTC  

What do you mean “staying in the same position”?

2019-02-24 06:26:22 UTC  

In that video the sun stays in the same position (the camera doesn’t move but the sun stays in the center)

2019-02-24 06:26:41 UTC  

At the same time the sun looks like it’s receding off into the distance

2019-02-24 06:27:27 UTC  

But with the sun rotating away, as in the model you posted, the sun should also bare off to the left or right while it fades out.

2019-02-24 06:27:54 UTC  

It’s almost as if the video doesn’t entirely match either view.

2019-02-24 06:28:54 UTC  

Yeah. It’d say that the camera is in the spot where the curve is yet to be seen. If, say, there was another camera more miles further, then you’d see it making the curve, because, from direct perception at that moment, and taking into account the size of the sun, it’d take more miles (for the camera) to see the “leaning”.

2019-02-24 06:29:28 UTC  

The model shows “quick” turns, but in reality it ain’t that fast

2019-02-24 06:29:40 UTC  

No, I understand that

2019-02-24 06:30:49 UTC  

Also, if you put your finger on the starting point, you’ll see some slight leaning to the left

2019-02-24 06:31:03 UTC  

Though not great

2019-02-24 06:31:13 UTC  

I’m just observing that no matter where you position the camera, the sun should have turned slightly at some point from being stationary.

2019-02-24 06:31:32 UTC  

Let me look at the video again, maybe I can see that turn if I look a bit closer.

2019-02-24 06:32:34 UTC  

It is turning, it’s just not gonna be as “radical” as we’d think

2019-02-24 06:32:42 UTC  

If you put a line through the middle of the sun, as it shrinks in that video, both sides stay the same size.

2019-02-24 06:33:18 UTC  

I see it going to the left

2019-02-24 06:33:23 UTC  

If you put a line on the edge, it does look like it’s turning since the edge of the sun is slowly tracking away from the line.

2019-02-24 06:33:28 UTC  

I traced a line on the starting point

2019-02-24 06:33:55 UTC  

I wish I could demonstrate it, but I don’t really know how.

2019-02-24 06:34:38 UTC  

With your drawing tool

2019-02-24 06:35:27 UTC  

Yeah, I think this one needs to be more precise than I can do with that, lol

2019-02-24 06:35:37 UTC  

We both saw how bad my drawings are, lmao

2019-02-24 06:35:43 UTC  

Lmao

2019-02-24 06:36:08 UTC  

This image sort of gets at what I mean, even if it’s meant for something completely different:

2019-02-24 06:36:39 UTC  

Welp lol

2019-02-24 06:36:42 UTC  

One of those dotted line last cuts both circles in half

2019-02-24 06:37:03 UTC  

The one that gets close to the “X”

2019-02-24 06:37:41 UTC  

Yeah I see it

2019-02-24 06:37:47 UTC  

The red line shows the difference in where the edge of the circle is if the circle gets smaller

2019-02-24 06:40:15 UTC  

How are you relating it with the video? I’m trying to understand

2019-02-24 06:40:24 UTC  

As in, the lines you want to explain

2019-02-24 06:40:54 UTC  

Where you’d put the sun’s movement in that graphic?
