I see the same constellations everyday at night at the same time, I took note of it. This would never happen on a globe earth that rotates around the sun which moves in a path.

2019-08-05 23:37:23 UTC  

People in Australia see completely different stars rotating around a star pole that is not polaris

2019-08-05 23:37:35 UTC  

isn't there no southern pole star

2019-08-05 23:38:02 UTC  

@Superiorna_Artiljerija Doesn't matter if a star is in the celestial pole

2019-08-05 23:38:11 UTC  

The point is that stars rotate around a central point

2019-08-05 23:38:59 UTC  

No there isn't no south pole star because the globe doesn't exist. There is only polaris for the north star which would work on a flat earth.

2019-08-05 23:39:45 UTC  

Still no word on the southern cross

2019-08-05 23:39:48 UTC  

@rivenator12113 Are you flat out denying that people in the southern hemisphere see a different set of stars rotating around a different center point?

2019-08-05 23:40:13 UTC  

There isn't one as useful and precise as the polaris

2019-08-05 23:40:26 UTC  

Polaris is always in the same location

2019-08-05 23:40:30 UTC  

South stars? Not so much

2019-08-05 23:40:38 UTC  

Polaris actually rotates a tiny bit too

2019-08-05 23:41:04 UTC  

It is not dead center

2019-08-05 23:41:49 UTC  

People polar align their southern hemisphere telescopes all the time. It is trickier,but it works just the same as in the north.

2019-08-05 23:42:46 UTC  

Polaris rotates a few degree back and forth but it will always stay in the same spot. It has been used since the greeks for travelling north

2019-08-05 23:43:01 UTC  

Sailors use the southern cross as well

2019-08-05 23:43:20 UTC  

It is one of the key constellations for orienting one's self in the southern latitudes

2019-08-05 23:43:45 UTC  

Is there a south star? Nope

2019-08-05 23:43:51 UTC  

Only a north star

2019-08-05 23:43:52 UTC  

It is like using the big dipper to find north when polaris is covered by a cloud

2019-08-05 23:44:17 UTC  

Is there a central point around which all southern stars rotate? The answer is YES.

2019-08-05 23:45:25 UTC  

Polaris was the pole star starting at about 300 AD

2019-08-05 23:45:32 UTC  

Prior was Kochab

2019-08-05 23:46:06 UTC  

@rivenator12113 If Polaris suddenly disappeared, but all stars and patterns remained the same, would it be impossible to navigate north?

2019-08-05 23:46:54 UTC  

*all "other" stars and patterns (I meant to say)

2019-08-05 23:47:23 UTC  

Yes, historical evidence shows that stars have moved, when comparing the earliest meticulous star charts

2019-08-06 00:03:25 UTC  

@rivenator12113 You can't see orion in your sky right now, but you could months ago. What does that tell you?

2019-08-06 00:04:17 UTC  

@zirpu You can see the polaris star everyday, what does that tell you?

2019-08-06 00:04:38 UTC  

That it is the star nearest to earths celestial pole

2019-08-06 00:04:54 UTC  

Polaris isnt even on the direct celestial pole

2019-08-06 00:05:16 UTC  

Earth rotates around the sun, what does that tell you?

2019-08-06 00:06:14 UTC  

The sky rotates equatorially. I think you need to research that a bit.

2019-08-06 00:06:51 UTC  

Sun moves in a direction what does that tell you?

2019-08-06 00:07:38 UTC  

Nothing in the sky contradicts with the heliocentric model. You aren't making sense.

2019-08-06 00:07:56 UTC  

So why can't you see orion anymore if we are on a flat earth?

2019-08-06 00:09:47 UTC  

Yes it does contradicts the heliocentric model, the earth rotating around the sun which moves in a direction can not work with polaris. Only way polaris can remain in the same spot for millenials is because earth is stationery

2019-08-06 00:10:39 UTC  

I don't really think it's worth your time to argue against the heliocentric model if you don't understand how it works.

2019-08-06 00:11:00 UTC  

What did I say wrong about the heliocentric model? Everything that I wrote is factual

2019-08-06 00:12:49 UTC  

"Only way polaris can remain in the same spot for millenials is because earth is stationery" This is false, it could also be because the star is far away.
